SOFT SKILLS FOR FEMALE CITY GUIDES
Alright. Warmed up.
Welcome to the last session of our training: "soft skills for female city guides"
I'd suggest we start with a little check in. Everybody one sentence.
What's bothering you, what you want to be clarified,
what you are still afraid of.
Alright. Elisabeth. One sentence.
Well, what if only men are among the tourists?
Kerstin!
Spoon... please pass it on.
I'm afraid of these smartasses.
If some man knows it better than me.
A smartass.
Alright. Milena.
Yes, also. The same.
Well, alright. Let's start with the first example.
"Only men are part of the tourist group."
Obscene remarks could be possible, maybe someone gets obtrusive.
That's what you meant Elisabeth, right?
Alright then. We are going to do a little role-playing.
Who wants to play the man?
No. I just want to watch first.
Just watching? Alright, so it's Kerstin then.
No, I'm not playing the man.
Why not? Maybe you could explain it.
I can't put myself in a man's position.
What's that got to do with our training anyway?
We can only fight such a situation,
if we understand the male psyche.
Obviously that's not clear to you.
That's why I want us to play this.
So, no objections! Stand up!
Please stand up!
Kerstin, you're going to touch Elisabeth immorally and then we'll see how she reacts.
No! That's enough! I'm done.
Very good! That's exactly what you need to say.
Only in your daily work routine...
Miss Kaiser! I mean Friderike.
This whole training programme is pure nonsense!
No connection with guided tours! What have we learned?
Stop, stop, stop! Alright.
I told you from the beginning:
if you just haven't found anything else,
then clearly you are at the wrong place.
Not everyone can become a city guide.
It's a leading position, since you are leading the tourists through the city.
And Kerstin, you are afraid of men who know it better than you?
It doesn't matter.
You are the leader! You are in authority.
Maybe I don't want authority!
I don't have to know everything!
Right. Don't want talking! Better listen what others say.
Maybe others knows better.
Saskia, could you follow me please?
That's what I've always been waiting for.
To cut those pedagogue chicks down to size.
And now she has gone too far.
I can't be bothered either.
But I have to finish this course or they'll cut my welfare.
Milena, why don't you say something?
She herself can't control situation.
She can't tell me nothing.
Alright girls. Now we gonna do the following:
All of you get off your shirts.
Then you bend, heads down.
Like Saskia demonstrates us.
Enough is enough!
You can't make me do that!
Words cannot describe this madness!
First I thought
as a city guide I need to be confident.
But I don't!
I am not a confident woman. Period!
Dirty things you done to Elisabeth!
What would you do, when men touch you?
But they won't. 'Cause nothing there. It's all flat.
