Regardless of the specific statistics within your organization, every enterprise is being challenged by gender equity issues. Vivian Consulting Group has created a seminar to help organizations successfully manage this cultural reality — “Engendering Gender Greatness: A Collaboration for Equitable Excellence”. Research shows that men are experiencing feelings of vulnerability and confusion as it relates to gender relations, while women are expressing frustration and anger. This seminar helps participants deal with those feelings. It also empowers both men and women with knowledge, skills and techniques to better understand, communicate and empathize with each other.
It’s customizable and is comprised of three main components:
› Understanding Concepts — Acculturation, communication and societal norms & attitudes.
