Example, please --- Reading your HT for the first time, I was a bit taken aback with your comment about how it's better for women to use silent language as it goes against my firm belief in gender equality. Then I paused and realised that it may indeed be a better tactic in 'certain situation' i.e., when the context favours such approach.

Could you please share examples (for your own career if possible, without disclosing any names or other sensitive information, of course) of situations when you as a professional female diplomat gained advantage by resorting to a 'silent language'?

The call for examples is also open to other participants too!
