Talking 9 to 5

The aim

To help men and women communicate more effectively in the workplace.


About the programme
Imagine how difficult work would be if you spoke a different language than your colleagues! Yet this happens every day-because men and women use different communication styles.

These differences, which start in childhood, can make it difficult for managers to lead and cause misunderstandings that hurt teamwork and morale. Linguistics expert Deborah Tannen introduced the idea that men and women sometimes talk as if they inhabit different worlds. This insightful programme captures real-life work conversations that illustrate her pioneering insights and help you to improve the way in which men and women in your organisation communicate.

-Utilise everyone's input to generate exceptional ideas
