Communication Skills- Sneak Peak from My CourseRadhia Benalia
This is a Sneak Peak from my Course. The PPT is of course accompanied with case studies, templates, hypothetical scenarios, videos, and group activities.
This presentation shows a surprising tool that is not often used in dealing with toxicity in the workplace: strategic use of qualities, or virtues to improve difficult situations. Link for the tip sheet is: https://d2saw6je89goi1.cloudfront.net/uploads/digital_asset/file/335678/Toxic_workplace_key_themes_from_incidents.pdf
Soft skills is a sociological term relating to a person's "EQ" (Emotional Intelligence Quotient), the cluster of personality traits, social graces, communication, language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism that characterize relationships with other people.[1] Soft skills complement hard skills (part of a person's IQ), which are the occupational requirements of a job and many other activities.

5. “Men insult each other and don’t mean it, women
compliment each other and don’t mean it.”
From a young age, females learn to give
compliments; it's almost reflexive. Compliments
are a way of reaching out to one another, an offer
of affirmation and inclusion. Men are more
likely to volunteer evaluations instead of hand
out compliments.
• Risk taking in childhood.
• Approval response with adults.
• Cultural expectations.
• Unconscious bias and stereotypes.
6. How do women weaken their image
while communicating?
10. Too Much Nodding
• To Women, Nodding Communicates: “I hear
you”.
• To Men, Nodding Communicates: “I agree with
you.”
11. Options to Address
• Do not assume, lessen nodding.
• If you find yourself repeating information, men
are less likely to listen once a topic is repeated,
ask for clarification instead.
12. Uptalk
• A rising reflection in the end of a sentence.
• Appears as a questions instead of a statement or
an opinion.
• Vocal pattern is less likely to be taken seriously.
13. Options to Address
• Practice bringing voice down at the end of a
sentence.
• Practice more direct speech and ask to open for
discussion than search for discussion with
speech pattern.
14. Being Assertive
• Do you think you can get me that data by
tomorrow?
• You think we are a great team, right?
• Unintentionally sends a weak message instead of
one of strength.
• Minimizes the message.
15. Options to Address
• Remove taglines before you speak, (Right?)
• Practice bolder speech ahead of time, before
speaking out loud.
• Use Statements instead of questions.
16. Allowing to be Interrupted
• Men are raised to more easily jump in and speak
in conversations. Women are more likely to wait
for a turn.
• Women are also more likely to be cut off or
interrupted.
17. Options to Address
• If interrupted, “I’m not finished.” or “Please,
wait till I’m done.”
• Do not hesitate to jump in when you should.
Don’t be scared to be wrong- it’s more
important to communicate and it gets easier
with time.
• Commit to making one contribution at every
meeting/event/discussion.
18. Losing Credit for Ideas
• There’s always one more than happy to take
credit for other’s ideas.
• It impedes other’s professional progress and is
limiting to company’s progress.
19. Option to Address
• Speak up and clearly take credit for your
contributions:
• “I just stated that a minute ago.”
• “How is that different than my proposal that I
made?”
• Take credit for all that you do.
20. Problem Solving
• Women often prefer to go over all avenues of an
issue before deciding on a resolution.
• Discussion can be viewed as an obstacle by many
men to a solution, same with making decisions.
21. Options to Address
• When discussing an issue with male colleagues,
get to the point clearly unless very specifically
stated in the agenda.
• Ensure deadlines are clear for both parties.
22. Physical Space
• Men have a tendency to be very unreserved,
more relaxed- sprawled out, stretched legs,
arms comfortably sat out at the table.
• Women in surveys were found to check their
appearance in sitting approximately 10 times per
hour. They have a tendency to sit “drawn in”-
keeping arms and legs close to the body.
23. Option to Address
• “Own your space”.
• When standing, keep feet firmly planted on
floor, arms at a comfortable distance from body.
• When sitting, spread out to own the space in
front of you and cross legs at ankles if necessary.
• Avoid clothing that constricts movement and
allows the ability to spread out more, (dress
pants over pencil skirts, etc.)
24. The Workplace Bully
• Avoid those that communicate via “win through
intimidation and isolation.”
• This type of communication, (from a
peer/manager) undercuts productivity,
creativity and harmony in any workplace.
25. Options to Address
• Document all communication, (i.e. ask for
everything in writing.)
• Always be gracious to a bully and do not take
responsibility for their behavior- remember,
this is their problem, not yours.
• If the bully is a manager, consider a new
department or a new job. Life is too short and
your energy is too valuable for this type of
person.
26. Avoidance of Public Speaking
• Public speaking can quickly dismiss any
misconceptions created by physical impressions.
• Public speaking gives the opportunity to offer
visibility and equal exposure in the technical
arena.
27. Options to Address
• Find mentors, locate smaller venues to speak at,
get out there and shine.
• Don’t let initial set-backs hold you back.
• Join local organizations like “Toastmasters” to
practice public speaking.
28. Network Building
• Due to complexities in male/female work
relationships, it can be difficult to reach out and
network for women, but it is essential to career
and communication enhancement.
29.
30. Options to Address
• Reach out using Social Media Tools such as
Linked in, to build connect to those in industry.
• Start informal mentoring by asking 1 or 2
important questions of those you respect.
• Join online forums to offer guidance and create
a clear online professional persona for
networking.
• Clearly separate professional from personal
social media forums.
31. Goal Oriented Communication
• Remember what you goal is for the conversation
and keep on the path.
• This will often require you to keep other’s goals
included in your own. Without including their
agendas, you won’t get far with your own…
32. Goal Oriented Communication and
Emotion
• You have a right to feelings.
• You feel things for a reason and it is a strength.
• Place the emotions aside and think about WHY
you felt the way you do in the conversation.
• What do you want to accomplish with the
conversation?
• Use these words, (without the emotion) to reach
that goal.
34. Additional Tips
• Say what needs to be said- this is not a
popularity contest, but do say it in a way that
you would want it said to you.
• Always try to do the right thing over being right
in a conversation. Being gracious can be
contagious.
• Know when it’s not your problem in
communication and when to walk away.
35. Communication Challenge
Women very often compliment each other on
appearance to open conversation.
• Open conversation with compliment on a
business or technical contribution the woman
made.
• Offer to assist or network with the woman on the
project/challenge.
36. Communication Motto to Live By:
Feel with your heart, think with your
mind and say what you mean.
