Luncheon with Keynote Speaker Connie Glaser
GenderTalk Works: 7 Steps for Cracking the Gender Code at Work

Bringing a fresh perspective to communication differences between men and women, this interactive keynote provides practical strategies for cracking the invisible gender code. With her hallmark humor and insight, Glaser provides “essential tools for removing barriers to inclusion and success.”

She says something at a meeting and it's ignored. Later, he says the same thing and it's applauded. What happened? Men and women use language differently. And they often misunderstand each other as a result. The communication rules of the workplace have changed, and failure to play by the rules can create misunderstanding and conflict. Glaser uses insight and humor to provide a new game plan that enables women to command the attention they want…and accept the credit they deserve.
