How to deal gender differences to your advantage

Did you know that males and females have different vision styles and their brains actually process human voices differently? These two areas are at the root of a great deal of gender heat and misunderstanding. Now you can develop new strategies for communicating more successfully with the opposite gender. Does this knowledge remove the differences? Hardly! But understanding more about underlying differences in brain function can reduce frustration and offer an opportunity for tweaking your behavior. It can also provide a great deal of light-hearted amusement!

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION

Have you ever had conversations that went something like this?

Her:  Are you listening to me?
Him:  Yes.
Her:  What did I just say?
Him:  Ah . . .
Her:  I knew it!

Him:  Have you seen my _____?
Her:  Yes. They’re right here.
Him:  Oh.
Her:  How come you’re always asking me to find things for you?
Him:  Um . . .…    

This seminar is designed to share information derived from brain imaging studies, about ways in which differences in the male brain and the female brain (no doubt also influenced by socialization) impact vision style and hearing. These two areas are at the roots of a great deal of gender heat and misunderstanding. Based on this information you can develop new strategies for communicating more successfully with the opposite sex. Does this knowledge change the differences? Hardly! But understanding more about underlying differences in brain function can reduce frustration and offer an opportunity for tweaking your behavior. It can also provide a great deal of light-hearted amusement!

This seminar can be presented in one 50-minute session.
