We all occasionally feel frustrated by our inability to be heard by others. Women may find that this inability to be heard rises to the level of a problem that limits their effectiveness in the organization. Is it possible for women to be on an equal footing with their male colleagues and consistently contribute at a level that is not compromised by stereotypic views or prejudice. Is it possible that the typical communication styles that women adopt may actually be contributing to the problem? Not being on an equal footing with their male counterparts can impact women's personal effectiveness and limit their ability to influence on both the individual and organizational level. Strengthen your ability to influence others by identifying your preferred influencing styles and strategies. Adopt more productive approaches while maintaining your integrity and authenticity. Learn how the common communication patterns of men and women vary and how conventional assumptions may get in the way of real understanding. Practice strategies that will help you be heard in both interpersonal and group situations.
Course Objectives - By the end of this course you will be able to:1. Understand the strategies that govern your typical behavior when you are trying to influence others.2. Explore how men and women influence differently as a function of basic personality differences and communication style.3. Determine your predominant influencing style, your strengths as a person of influence, and developmental opportunities.4. Practice using assertive behaviors in challenging situations.

Communication matters.It's at the heart of how professional people function effectively. Even people who communicate well typically would volunteer that they also believe they could communicate better. Better and more influential communication can provide an advantage to everyone, especially in understanding individuals whose preferred behavior is different than your own.This course strengthens participants self-awareness as individuals and leaders by providing feedback on key components of personality as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and offers a review of how participants can use the cues which they see in the behavior of others to provide insights into what their Myers-Briggs personality type might be, thus providing opportunities to flex their own behavior to more effectively work with others. This approach offers a greater opportunity to build a rapport with others, and to influence their decision making and behavior by understanding their preferences for the type of data they normally value most, and the ways in which they most often use it to make choices. Psychological Assessment: Participants are offered the opportunity to complete the MBTI Step II in advance. Small group activities will be structured around MBTI preferences, and in order to participate fully in the sessions, we do ask that you be willing to share your four-letter MBTI code (although personal scores do not need to be shared). If you do not wish to complete the assessment in advance, or to have your Myers-Briggs type known to the group, please let the course coordinator know in advance. In this case, you're welcome to attend as an observer, but may not receive the most advantage from your participation since you won't have your personal data to consider during discussions.

What makes an individual effective at a job? What skills are necessary to work in a complex, demanding work environment? Increasingly, the answers to these and similar types of questions suggest that organizations are seeking individuals who demonstrate more than the conventional benchmarks of success such as academic credentials and years of experience in a profession. Individuals who have cultivated emotional as well as intellectual abilities are increasingly in demand. These individuals tend to be effective problem solvers with the ability to draw upon a wide range of skills and abilities. They are likely to be more effective and confident in their ability to respond to rapid changes in the workplace. This highly interactive course will provide participants with a better understanding of the nature of emotional intelligence and its applications in the workplace.
