Women and Men communicate most effectively when they understand the cultural differences unique to each gender.
For many men and women, the world would be a much simpler place if men only had to communicate with men and women only had to communicate with women. Why? Because each gender is a culture unto itself, raised with basic rules of conduct "instinctively" known to all adult members of that gender. Consequently, what seems natural to one gender culture can seem mysterious and baffling to the other.
According to the research presented by Dr. Pat Heim, men and women behave according to two separate sets of cultural rules about what "right" is. Learning the cultural differences which define what is right for men and women, together with a good sense of humor is the first step leading to meaningful intergender communication.
Dr. Heim's amazing video presentation and case studies will enable you to look at communication between genders in whole different yet familiar light.
