Did you know that men and women both have the same goal in conversation but their natural methods can make the other feel disrespected and wind up alienating the other?

I'm Jenn Flaa, CEO of Vettanna and The Bird Commission.  I've lived in a man's world my whole life. From growing up with two brothers, to studying engineering and technology management and entering the male dominated world of high tech.  Even in music, I'm the only girl in the band!  I had to figure out how to communicate successfully in order to not just survive but to thrive!  I was lucky to have forthright brothers, friends and mentors who "schooled" me along the way about what I was doing "wrong", why "my way" wasn't working and ideas to course correct.

In this class, I reveal my secrets as we explore the natural communication styles of men, women and bosses and how they go sideways.  We discuss the role of the listener and easy remedies both the listener and the speaker can use when the conversation becomes less than desired.

We explore the tough topics of mansplaining, intimidation and the effect of #MeToo on the workplace.

If your business communications are frustrating you this is the course for you.  Bring an open mind and a willingness to experiment with new techniques in order to transform your business relationships. 

Note:  Although this course isn’t designed to fix your communication frustrations at home, you can apply the course takeaways in non-work communications too.  However; the examples given will be business based.
