Advice like 'Don't be frustrated if female clients reevaluate or modify their initial requests' has very strong echoes of outmoded thinking of the type that suggests "well, you have to understand that women can't make up their minds so you have to make allowances for them". Accountancy is, of course, a very male dominated industry, but surely this type of advice should come as no surprise to anyone living and working in the 21st Century.
