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!
