There are many ‘pink elephants’ – issues that don’t get acknowledged or spoken of – in the work place. One of those is the dynamics between men and women.
Science has proven that men and women each have different skills and abilities that can contribute to an effective and productive workplace and yet these differences are often misunderstood or ignored. Understanding the gender-specific strengths and challenges in the workplace will allow participants to be better leaders and team players while building positive and supportive work environments.
The Taoist principles of Yin and Yang are used in this workshop to understand the feminine and masculine energies within the natural world including ourselves. This approach offers additional solutions to deal with the differences between the genders, and how to bridge the gender gap.
Engage with both men and women to explore this core work- place dynamic in an interactive, experiential and fun way and learn more about yourself in the process.
