Different-Speak: Gender and Culture-2

/in /by

 

To discuss your communication plan, you want to hold the most productive meeting possible. You know that, in general, women look for equality among other team members when speaking. Men tend to interrupt and speak more frequently during meetings, taking up more time and space. There are many communication differences between men and women. Because your staff includes 6 men and 6 women, gender communication differences are important. With your colleagues, discuss ways to ensure that everyone at the meeting has the opportunity to fully communicate their ideas. Discuss the following:

  • 1 nonverbal difference between males and females
  • 1 verbal difference between males and females.
  • How and why you can use this knowledge to communicate to the female and male audiences in the organization that you selected

The materials found in the MUSE may help you with this assignment such as the presentation Gender Speak.
