Did you ever wonder why talking to him is so difficult? Did you ever wonder why she is so hard to deal with? Men and women are different, so it should come as no surprise that our styles of communication often are different. Yet each and every day men and women experience mystifying, often frustrating, clashes of their contrasting styles of communicating.
For example, when is a question not a question? When is an apology not an apology? Differences are a matter of degree…and not all differences show up in all men and all women…but differences do exist. During this workshop, we will uncover some of these differences in male-female communication and, with that understanding, explore ways to bridge the gaps.
Please feel free to bring your lunch. Cookies and drinks will be served.
