Why the Workplace?
An estimated 30% of employee downtime is due to relationship and
communication problems with co-workers and supervisors. People must
communicate well and understand one another clearly in order to reduce or
eliminate the kinds of distractions and conflicts that can interfere with
effectively and efficiently getting the job done. Managers consistently
report that one of the most difficult parts of their job is to create
harmonious work environments. Chief among their challenges is knowing how to effectively work with bosses, peers,
and subordinates of the opposite sex.
Now you can put the world's leading
authority on gender communication and relationships to work for you! Dr.
John Gray, author of the bestseller, Men Are from Mars, Women Are From
Venus, applies his proven Mars-Venus relationship principles to the
workplace in a new workshop which:
- Offers
managers and co-workers unique, practical strategies to enhance
relationships with each other and customers.
- Increases
workforce productivity by appealing to each gender's greatest
motivating factors.
- Delivers
a tool set of communication strategies to promote respect, build
trust, and overcome the corrosive effects of frustration,
misunderstanding, and conflict in the workplace.
- Refines
management and supervision effectiveness by teaching skills for
managing a diverse workforce.
- Helps
all staff members feel understood, valued, accepted, and included.
- Improves
managers' and team leaders' abilities to better understand and
communicate - resulting in more effective meetings, delegating,
problem-solving negotiation and conflict resolution.

Fun, Engaging, and
Tailored to Your Needs
The Mars and Venus Workplace material is both highly flexible and
practical. The workshops are always fun and engaging. They provide
participants with a positive way to understand the differences between
the genders. They also emphasize that while there clearly are gender
differences, everyone has Martian and Venusian sides.

People often think that they
are speaking the same language and coming from the same culture when in fact
they are not! It is the lack of clarity and confusion over these
"cultural differences" between Mars and Venus that create so many
of the communication and interpersonal problems that result in higher
stress and lower productivity.
Our goal is to provide participants with practical concepts
and specific skills that will lead to improved results in
the real world. Our trainings are customized to the needs of your
organization. For Workshop formats* the core material has been organized into
modules. Each module is between 45 minutes to one hour in length so that
they can be done individually or joined together in 2-4 hour format. Each
module has the following format:
- Introduce
a Mars Venus Concept or Difference
- Demonstrate
the concept
- Elicit
from participants examples that illustrate the point
- Facilitator
Presents clear examples that illustrate the point
- Teach
a Specific Skill Set of tools to address the difference
- Have
participants practice the tools through a verbal or written exercise
that demonstrates mastery
