  10. Influencing Your Leaders • In this webinar: • What the research tells us • Real-life experiences • Tips for success

  11. Tell us about your career journey as it relates to working with men and women.

  12. My class was 50-50 women and men, but when I became a supervisor and ran drugstores I was one of very few women.I asked myself, “Why are there so few women?” Renee Hay

  13. As we all know, 75% of purchasing is done by women. I discovered that I can connect with customers in a way that is different than my male counterparts. Bethany Quam

  14. When it comes to working with men and women, how has your thinking evolved since you started your career?

  15. When I first started my career, there was a great passion for women to be successful within the company. I attended classes that taught us how to be successful -- by being more like men! Renee Hay

  16. Never wear a red dress!

  17. I didn’t recognize these differences until I got into more senior positions. Performance was always the driver for me. I didn’t want my brand to be “the first female” as I felt I had a lot more to offer. Bethany Quam

  18. What is an experience or “a-ha” moment that changed how you approach working with men and women?

  19. As a starting place, especially in business, 80% of the time men are transactional and women are relational. This is true in sales, influencing and most communications. Jeffery Tobias Halter

  20. 80% of the time

  21. “Women tend to react more strongly to the rapport dynamics of interaction.” “Men tend to be more sensitive to the power dynamics of interaction.” “The Power of Talk: Who Gets Heard and Why,” by Deborah Tannen, Harvard Business Review.

  22. Is your style of communicating, leading and influencing different than that of your male peers? How so?

  23. My Style

  24. - Barbara and Allan Pease

  25. “In other words, women communicate • more than men.” • - Barbara and Allan Pease 3 times

  26. In your opinion, are there differences in how men and women communicate, lead and influence?

  27. I share more along the way. • They hold things close.

  28. In our company environment, successful leaders lead from core competencies, which look the same in men and women. • Tip: Understand the company you are in and its core competencies to be successful.

  29. As men communicate a third less than women, we [men] tend to stop listening 1/3 of the way into your conversation, dialogue or sales presentation. It's not personal, we just aren't conditioned to listen that long. To be most effective, give it to us short and concisely.Jeffery Tobias Halter

  30. What advice do you have to be more successful when working with male peers? With female peers?

  31. Be aware of “My point of view.” Understand the other person’s point of view: How are they receiving this information? What are they motivated by? What are they fearful of?

  32. Stay away from stereotypes. Have your elevator speech ready.

  33. Our brains are different! Researchers at Indiana School of Medicine studied the brain activity of 10 men and 10 women listening to someone read a novel. They found that the men used the left half of their brains while listening and the women used both halves of their brains.

  34. As women are whole-brain thinkers and have explored many possible solutions, to a woman “no” means “no.” To a man, who has probably only pursued one course of action, “no” means “bring me another solution.” Jeffery Tobias Halter

  35. What unique strengths do women bring to the workplace that they could capitalize on?

  36. What is one thing you see women struggling with? What advice can you offer?

  37. Have confidence.  Lean into your strengths and what you uniquely bring to drive the results of your organization.

  38. What advice do you have for men who want to communicate with, lead and influence women effectively?

  39. Understand the power of diversity. Look for individual women who are delivering results and have potential. Sign up to be a sponsor to women.
