For Women in the Workplace: Advancing as a Woman, by Understanding Men
Bestselling author Shaunti Feldhahn will provide some fascinating ‘food for thought’ in a candid discussion about the findings of her new book, The Male Factor: The Unwritten Rules, Misperceptions and Secret Beliefs of Men in the Workplace. Shaunti will share the results of eight years of in-depth research on ways men commonly think in the workplace but almost never talk about.
Shaunti will reveal the inside scoop on the common male perceptions that frequently impact women, ways to remove the unseen obstacles some women don’t even know are there, as well as keys to the best possible work relationships with male bosses, colleagues, subordinates and clients. Shaunti will also provide male listeners with a critical understanding of the intentions of their female colleagues.
While you may find these revelations from her book, The Male Factor, surprising or even challenging, you’re sure to gain an invaluable understanding of how your key male constituents react to a host of situations—as well as the ability to correct common misperceptions. Get equipped with some brand- new information that will help you make informed decisions armed with a competitive edge.

For Men in the Workplace: Understanding the Women You Work With, and Avoiding the Trap of Misperceptions
Just as there are facts that career women need to know about the men they work with, the reverse is true—both for the purposes of career development and to avoid the trap of common misperceptions. This talk or training session uses real-world quotes, case studies and examples to demonstrate how certain typically “female” methods and ways of relating in business are often strengths instead of the weaknesses that men might otherwise believe. (For example, men commonly say that if a female colleague gets quite angry in a group meeting, that her perceptions of what went on in that meeting are untrustworthy, not realizing that because of the difference in brain wiring, women can both entertain a strong emotion and think clearly at the same time.) In today’s culture, where sexual harrassment claims are always a reality, this talk also helps men see and prevent traps before they happen.

Dressing for Success: Helping Your Female Staff “Get” the Reason for Your Organization’s Standards
In today’s professional environment, it is common to encounter women who resent or push the envelope on their organization’s dress standards, not realizing that it may hinder their career—including by causing a distraction for the men they work with. This closed-door talk helps women (and HR departments) by helping women understand and internalize the reason behind the organization’s standards, particularly in how they may be perceived by their male colleagues.
