In a business discussion with a person of the opposite sex, have you ever asked yourself if you were speaking the same language? Well the answer is "yes — sort of!" A man and a woman can be using the same words, but meaning different things.

If you report to a manager of the opposite sex, are you ever frustrated by your inability to "get on the same wavelength"?

If you are a manager with people of the opposite sex reporting to you, do you ever wonder if you are getting your message through?

And what about the thorny issue of humour at work? Whether you are male or female, you've probably asked yourself "what the heck are they laughing at?" Or, even worse, you may have found yourself at odds with colleagues because of a misunderstanding around what some people think is funny while others are offended?

These are all situations arising from the very different communication styles of men and women.

if you have ever had problems at work that might be caused by the gap between male and female communication styles, this lively yet practical session is for you. Helen Wilkie combines serious research with her own tongue-in-cheek observations from the workplace, resulting in an eye-opening session that will help break down the communication barriers so that we can all get our jobs done more effectively.
