Key Features

Each video program comes with a Leader's Guide.

The dynamic of relationships between men and women at work has changed dramatically. To improve the quality of these relationships, improve productivity and profitability, women and men must enhance the way they communicate at work.

This new two-part video series with internationally recognized speaker and consultant, Audrey Nelson, explores two unique aspects of how the sexes communicate and how to improve the quality of that communication.

Audrey Nelson identifies differences in the ways men and women listen and how they communicate non-verbally. By sharing a lifetime of examples and research, Nelson clearly states, "there is no right and wrong in how women and men communicate - just different."

In a unique and engaging presentation, Nelson gives the viewer the awareness and the tools to identify and change existing communication behaviors in productive and positive ways. The two-part series includes:

Men, Women & Work: Listening Between the Lines
Men and women spend the greatest single percentage of our communication time listening - approximately 45%. Ironically, women and men are listening for different things. In this 22-minute video, Nelson points out that men and women need to listen accurately for the intended message the other is trying to deliver. "Listening between the lines," states Nelson, "...is the single greatest challenge confronting communication between women and men at work." This video defines the listening skills of each sex, and offers guidelines that allow each sex to adapt their listening and communication skills to support more productive communication. Includes Leaders Guide.

Men, Women & Work: Unspoken Messages
Words are a small part of the message men and women communicate. Non-verbally, each sex speaks volumes, in different ways, without saying a word. It's critical to understand that all verbal communication is filtered through the interpretation of non-verbal cues. In this 10-minute video, Audrey Nelson explores non-verbal communication by defining common non-verbal communication factors such as gestures, posture and facial expressions, and how men and women inadvertently use and interpret these unspoken factors. Includes Leader's Guide.
