Course Description
Effective communication is essential to the smooth functioning of a law firm. The differences between male and female communication styles can create �static� in the workplace and interfere with optimal performance. Learn how to fine-tune your communication skills to reduce the static, make yourself understood, and understand others more clearly. This program explores the roots of differing male and female communication styles, effective and ineffective behaviors, and ways to improve cross-gender communication. Excerpts from Rob Becker�s Defending the Caveman are used to illustrate points.
