Recently I gave a two hour keynote presentation on “Communication Differences between Men and Women in the Workplace”! The audience loved it and have already started applying some of the techniques – improve listening – understanding each other – appreciate the others diversity – and utilize the different strengths in a team to realize success!
This was a very interesting, fun and enlightening time with the audience!
Here are just a few of the highlights we discussed…
The most frequently expressed complaint women have about men is that they don’t listen.
The most expressed complaint men have about women is that they talk too much and want to change them!
There is no “best” communication style for all workplace interactions. Women have the edge in collaborative environments and men seem to take charge more readily!
To a woman, good listening skills include making eye contact and reacting visually to the speaker. To a man, listening takes place with a minimum of eye contact and almost no verbal feedback!#Communication #Leadership #Diversity #Motivational #ProfessionalSpeaker
