About the Session
He Speaks, She Speaks: What Different Things They Say
The number of women entering the workplace exceeds that of any other time in American history. Women are here to stay, and sometimes both sexes feel the clash of styles. During these uncertain economic times, most organizations have their eye on the bottom line, and much attention is paid to training an efficient workforce. But how many organizations train their members to be fluent in gender communication?
Both at work and home we interact daily with the opposite sex. Our success in both these arenas is directly linked to our ability to comprehend and adjust our communication style. This session provides hands-on communication skills that enable us to be more effective with men and women. You'll learn about issues such as:
- The Nature versus Nurture Controversy: Did men and women learn their different ways of communicating or were they born that way?
- What drives the way men and women communicate?
- It’s not what you say but how you say it: men, women and nonverbals
