Everyday Diversity™ The Assertive Salesperson

Gender Differences

When we think about other people, we need to be aware of how bias may come into play. This is particularly true when the same behavior is seen as positive or negative depending on the gender of the other person. As we think about how to put awareness into action, we must watch the words we use to describe others and strive to be fair and equitable in our descriptions.

Additional Information

The impact of a single word on our daily conversations can be huge. While a women is discussed in this example, there are other ways that a few words can change how someone else is perceived and respected in the workplace.
