Closing the Gap: Gender Communication Skills

Communicating Across Genders

Communication between genders can cause stress, strained relationships, lack of trust, lost sales, poor job performance, and in some cases, lawsuits. Both women and men speak the same language, but they can sometimes interpret it differently. And often times, men and women spend more time and energy in conflict with each other rather than spending that time working together effectively. NOTE: This DVD purchase is final.
