Gender IQ for Competitive Advantage, available now on-demand

In this webcast we introduce the subject of Gender Intelligence and explain how it can improve your Competitive Advantage – personally and for your organisation.  Do you know whether you have a female brain or a male brain? We’ll show you how to find out and what it means in terms of being a skilled leader and influencing both women and men for competitive edge.  A recent report from management consultancy McKinsey, Women Matter, found that companies with diverse management teams in Europe recorded an average earnings growth of 11.1% between 2003-2005 compared with the average of 5.8%.  And yet women occupy only 11% of board positions at listed companies in Europe.  If you want to keep your female talent watch this webcast for the biological evidence that we now know contributes to female attrition.  Gender Intelligence equals significantly increased bottom line results.  Contributors include Nikki Walker, director for Inclusion & Diversity for European Markets at Cisco and Alison Pothier who was MD at UBS Warburg, age just 35.

Gender IQ for Effective Meetings, available now on-demand

We bet you’ve never thought about how  biology can hijack your behaviour in meetings? Did you know, for instance that men’s testosterone rises in meetings and women’s oestrogen rises? Could this be the reason that women’s unifying complaint is often that they are not heard in meetings? Find out how biology affects team dynamics  and client meetings. The webcast will teach you how to understand the dynamics of managing gender-balanced meetings, learning how to maintain control in meetings under pressure, how to identify games played and how to develop strategies to stop them.  Our special interview this month is with Christine Ashton, Group Strategy Director, Transport for London.    Watch preview now.

Gender IQ in Negotiating and Influencing, available now on demand

Can nice girls negotiate?  Much of your success depends on how well you can influence other people and how skilled you are at negotiating for your desired outcome. It is generally accepted that there is a social cost to women asking or negotiating and in this webcast we look at biology and social conditioning as well as offering some great advice on successful negotiating tactics. The human brain and cognition is the basis for negotiation but how do you read behavioural signals if they are in a language you don’t understand?  Knowing how to tweak your negotiating and influencing style will transform your ability to get results with the other 50% of the population.  This month we interviewed John Donovan, Vice-President Private Sector, Cisco UK & Ireland.  Watch preview now.

Gender IQ in Sales, available March 2010

Women drive 85% of buying decisions and no sales person – man or woman – should be without the skill and the understanding of how to sell to the opposite sex. Based on extensive research this webcast will answer questions like ‘what are gendered speech patterns in sales?’ How should you close differently with male and female clients, is timing the key? Selling is an art and learning how to use communication techniques that are typical of the other gender is a pre-requisite for a comfortable sales process. Refine and upgrade your sales skills to serve the increasingly diverse markets that you serve. Gender differences remain consistent across nationalities, ethnicities and religions and bridging that gap takes more thought, work and adaption than most transactions.

Gender IQ in Marketing, available April 2010

Warning – this webcast will be biased!  All too often the female opportunity is missed because marketing rules are drawn up in an old masculine model that fails to recognise female motivation. We will aim to redress the balance by providing an honest and forthright study of women as the target audience. If women make 85% of buying decisions then it makes sound commercial sense to target them in every area from healthcare to IT and from DIY to banking. Doing this would revolutionise the way women shop and essentially increase the bottom lines of large corporate brands. Throw out the old rule book and look at what has already worked for those forward thinking companies who are already seizing this opportunity. This webcast is essential viewing for anyone looking to better understand the needs of their customers.

Gender IQ for Powerful Communication, available May 2010

Ineffective communication affects all parts of organisation and team cultures.  And it is a leader’s responsibility to improve their own communication skills and facilitate better communication between the genders. If you have watched all or some of the previous webcasts you will know by now that biology plays a big part in how we operate in our daily interactions. Learn basic gender cues and sharpen your instincts to really know what is going on underneath the words. Perhaps more importantly you might also learn how to understand your life partner better. Why does your wife need to talk at the end of the day, and why do you feel like you just want to sit down and relax? Do you know that your husband can’t read your facial expressions of annoyance or frustration but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care? This information can transform your understanding of all your relationships with the opposite sex.

Gender IQ for Conflict Resolution, available June 2010

Let’s face it – conflict happens when people are together under pressure for long periods of time. It is inevitable in any relationship and your ability to manage conflict will make or break the success of your team, organisation or marriage. When we are in conflict we resort to over extended behaviour. This is because our emotions escalate from triggered to angry. Have you ever wondered why the female extreme impulse is toward heightened worry and can end in tears, and the male extreme impulse is toward anger and physical outburst? Do you know how you and the women and men that you work with go through the conflict emotion continuum? Learn why you feel outraged when he walks away. Learn why you get frustrated when she continually wants to talk it over. One style for resolving conflict is not enough and you will need to be armed with a number of Gender Intelligence tools for de-escalating conflict and ensuring the success of a healthy and effective team.
