GENDER STEREOTYPES in Communication

With their BODIES – through body language, smiling too much, and by taking up as little space as possible

  • With their VOICES – by speaking with higher pitches and lower volumes

  • With their WORDS – through diminishing language such as caveats and apologies (“I could be wrong.” “Sorry.” “It’s just a thought.”)

    2. Women talk more about their HARD WORK

    I get asked this question a lot: What are the differences between how men and women communicate? And how we can elevate everyone’s communication effectiveness?
