Communication style differences between men and women undermine effective teamwork, sales results, customer service, and relationship at work and at home. Employees often know conflicts or problems exist, but don't understand why or what to do about them. Stereotypes, assumptions, lack of credibility, misinterpretation of intentions, and misperceptions of style differences are examples of common problem areas. Consequences of these misunderstandings include confusion, conflict, and sexual harassment complaints.

Using interactive lecture, exercises, statistics, case studies, role-plays, and a generous dose of relevant humor, Jane teaches audiences with a light, no male-bashing approach how to recognize, understand, and work successfully with the many communication style differences between men and women.

Authentic Leadership – The Confidence Connection
The most savvy leaders understand that their character and vision spring from their natural gifts and strengths…their authenticity. They know that self-awareness is a prerequisite to their authenticity, and therefore, successful leadership.

However, as people have aspired to leadership positions, many - especially women - have suppressed their natural balance of feminine-to-masculine qualities, trying to fit into the “man’s world of business.” They get off-track from their natural strengths, and whether or not they realize it, their confidence suffers. Bringing people back into alignment with their authenticity and innate confidence will help optimize their leadership success and improve performance, productivity, and competitive edge.

In this interactive, high-energy session, learn ways to access and use your natural confidence for effective leadership and career advancement!
