    Ep#14 Are Men and Women Different? Enhancing Understanding to Build Inclusivity - Part 2

    This is Part 2 of a two part podcast that explores the complex topic of differences between the sexes, both from a scientific and social/behavioural perspective.  It uses gender/sex as a proxy for all types of difference and diversity.  The topic is so important to me that I couldn’t fit it all into one episode, so I’ve split it into two parts..  Normally I would explore this topic in a workshop using some amazing improv actors to act out various workplace scenarios to highlight how men and women may think, behave and react differently in the workplace.  In this podcast, Part 2, I talk through the scenarios that we’d generally act out to highlight some of these differences in action.  Part 1 focuses on some of the science and research data relating to potential differences between the sexes. The aim of this workshop is to increase our understanding that the other human beings we interact with on a day to day basis may have very different backgrounds, thought processes, internal drivers, aims, desires and ways of approaching and reacting to issues. The more we can understand this and consider how differently people may think and feel, the more effectively we’ll be able to embrace true diversity that will deliver excellent results but also ensure that everyone in our workplace is living as fulfilled and as happy and productive existence as possible INCLUSIVE TEAM SLIDES Links to The Women’s Room – Legal Division: LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-womens-room-legal-division/?viewAsMember=true YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@Womens-Room-Legal-Division Website https://www.ericahandling.com/the-womens-room-legal-division/   I’d love to hear from you directly using the CONTACT link below about Contact Me https://www.ericahandling.com/contact-me/ any coaching questions you have or challenges that you’re facingany topics you’d like me to cover on the YouTube Channel, orif you have any suggestions about an amazing woman working in around the law I should interview on the Podcast https://feeds.captivate.fm/womens-room-legal-division/
