Gender IQ for Competitive Advantage, available now on-demandContributors include Nikki Walker, director for Inclusion & Diversity for European Markets at Cisco and Alison Pothier who was MD at UBS Warburg, age just 35. 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. There is now significant biological evidence to back up the anecdotal men are from Mars and women are from Venus stories. Ignoring this important information leads to female attrition. Gender Intelligence equals significantly increased bottom line results. Gender IQ for Effective Meetings, available now on-demandSpecial contributor: Christine Ashton, Group Strategy Director, Transport for London. 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 estrogen 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.

Or are we programmed to ‘people please?’ 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. Watch preview now. Joe Herbert: Professor of neuroscience at Cambridge UniversityStill not sure about the biology? Some say that they believe in the physical differences and some don’t. So, we decided to ask an expert! Professor Herbert will bust the myths and stories and talk about the evidence from neuroscience – as he says ‘the female brain, there is a difference’ Listen to this special, one-off full length interview with one of Europe’s leading authorities on the difference between male and female brains. Gender IQ in MarketingSpecial Contributor: Jane Cunningham, co-author of ‘Inside her pretty little head’. 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 in Networking and VisibilitySpecial Contributor: Ed Smith, ex Chair PWC, advisory board of Opportunity Now. It is a well known fact that there are marked differences in the way men and women promote themselves. We would go so far as to say that, generally, men do and women don’t! Our research shows that women prefer to ‘keep their heads down’ and be recognized for doing a good job. Men, on the other hand might wear out the carpet tiles in front of the bosses office at promotion time and do you know that those who are seen the most, are the ones who progress most rapidly? Gender IQ for Conflict ResolutionSpecial Contributor: Elaine Aarons, Partner, Withers Worldwide. 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? 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. Plus Elaine will be sharing her valuable insights from a ‘defenders lawyer’ perspective on what happens when people decide to litigate. |
