Work Conversations going wonky?

Tired of the ramblers, the interrupter & the mansplainers?

Scared of chatting in a post #MeToo World?

Did you know that men Team Working Together and women both have the same goal in conversation but their natural methods can make one another feel disrespected and wind up alienating the other?

In this class we explore the natural communication styles of men, women and bosses and how they can go sideways. We discuss the role of the listener and easy remedies both the listener and the speaker can use when the conversation goes off the rails.

We explore the tough topics of 'mansplaining', intimidation, things that cause accidental disrespect, and the effect of #MeToo on the workplace.

Reviews

"Powerful tips. I think Jenn has done an awesome job in defining what really happens in any office / corporate environment on a almost weekly basis. For anyone wanting to improve their communication skills in the work environment or elsewhere should start here. Truly an eye opener."
M Burney

"Very well thought out and presented in an easy to follow way. I really could have used this course 30 years ago."
R Couch

"Nice upbeat presentation regarding a soft skill subject (office personal communications). 1 to 2 minutes on mini-categories is awesome (e.g. how to deal with co-worker venting or your role as listener vs talker). The mini-categories with descriptive titles makes it easy for me to zip back in and review specific areas. No one else does this kind of training - and it is SOOOO NEEDED!"
B Dee

"Good to be conscious of the different styles of communications and the types of conversations that are needed. Very well thought out."
