Masculine vs. Feminine Communication Styles: The Socially Conditioned Extremes in Self Promotion- EP56

All men don't communicate in a certain way, not all women communicate the opposite... I know, knickers will be twisted over this episode and given how the phrase 'toxic masculinity' has been hijacked and even emerging young men are scared to be themselves... I understand the concern... But in my work coaching leaders to be heard, there are some common blockers... and specifically, in this chat we're talking about how you sell yourself. In an interview or on the job. How do you make your brilliance known, without... agression or sleaziness? How do we lean into the strengths of masculie and feminine styles of communication, without veering to the extremes? And, does doing that mean we're being inauthentic? The way we communicate has less to do with the gender assigned at birth and everything to do with how we were socialised to communicate. The way we were taught to show up in relationships, how to be taken seriously, how to be seen. This episode is a micro masterclass in how to challenge the stereotype you were taught to use... and what to do instead, for a better, more helpful result. This is the communication style that will help you to be heard - without slimy self promotion tactics that make your skin crawl. Let's break the mould. This episode explores how we can communicate from a place of authentic power and balance, specifically in relation to 'selling yourself'. If you're ready to embrace communication that's grounded in authenticity, power, and balance, this episode is for you.
