  3. Biggest Complaints? • Men don’t listen! • Women ask too many questions and give unsolicited advice! • Not listening is demeaning to women • Unwarranted advice is insulting to men

  4. Men Task oriented Language: fewest words to solve task . Words used to make a point Women Relationship oriented Language: solve problems + emotional support Words used to discover a point Report vs. Rapport

  5. Dealing with Stress! • Men focus more and resist change • Women expand and share feelings • For men this sharing = complaining and avoiding responsibility • Women's response to resistance = 4 D’s! (draw back, defend, detail or demand) • Each response alienates the other

  6. Feelings in the Workplace • Men share + feelings for trust & respect • Women share +/- feelings to build relationships • Men: personal feelings are blaming “I’ll keep this to myself” • Women: impersonal feelings are blaming “I don’t want to be rude, I should explain how I feel”

  9. Problem Solving • Men withdraw and think • Women talk and share • Action relaxes men • Talking relaxes women • Men’s withdrawal is seen as uncaring or dismissive • Men feel talk is cheap… It’s time for action !!

  10. Men, Women and POWER! • For men power = respect • For women respect = caring, integrity and personal values • Women disapprove of other women boasting about accomplishments • Men see women not taking credit as less confident or competent
