Men and women DO have unique communication styles that don’t always mesh well. Code Switching offers a way of “reaching across the aisle” to open the lines of communication. It helps both women and men crack the gender code and speak in common terms, so work gets done, conflict gets resolved, and mutual understanding and respect prevail … in the workplace and beyond.
The strategies in Code Switching go beyond mere common sense. Authors
Brown and Nelson provide cutting-edge techniques that can be applied directly with immediate success. Examples and anecdotes show how others have used these practices to demolish communication barriers and break through stereotypes.
Don’t wait another day to gain more impact and get the recognition you deserve. Discover the secret of Code Switching, and be heard and understood … once and for all.
