Defeating Gender Bias:
Three Communication Strategies for
Professional Women
presented by Lorie Reichel-Howe
The way people communicate will increase or decrease their career success. Research shows that speaking up in a forceful, assertive way is risky. This is especially true for women who battle the cultural stereotypes that interpret assertive women as noncaring, emotional and aggressive. It is possible for women to learn to communicate effectively and confidently without compromising their values, giving up their power, or risking their career success.
Learn specific communication skills that allow you to speak confidently and directly. Respectfully address issues of concern and present differing perspectives with clarity and conviction. Implement communication strategies that allow you to overcome resistance, dismissal, and gender discrimination.
Learning Objectives include:
- Implement strategies for effectively talking and collaborating when opinions differ.
- Articulate your views and positions clearly and competently.
- Communicate in a manner that gets heard.
- Respectfully address issues of concern.
- Overcome resistance, dismissal, and gender discrimination.
