Last Chance:
Important New Study on Technology Products for Women
Let your voice be heard!
WITI and IDC are conducting a survey to discover how women use and interact with technology. Last year, women made the majority of tech purchases, outspending men by $14 billion. Yet, the tech industry has yet to embrace or understand that the female market is one to be taken seriously.
Please visit http://mmemoir.com/idc/html.php?ID=1 to participate in this survey. Survey participants will automatically receive a complimentary 3-month membership (Current WITI Members will receive a 3-month membership extension.) For more about WITI Member benefits >
WITI Webinar: Gender in the Workplace: Same Words, Different Language, Same Workplace
Do men and women really speak different languages? Our discussion will be led by Barbara Annis, the world's leading expert on gender. Barbara's book, Same Words, Different Language, will be the center of the dialog as we explore her findings in this fascinating and practical guide to how gender differences at work and home lead to misunderstandings and how to correct them. Barbara will share with us challenges men and women experience with the opposite sex including:
- Why do they listen to men and not to women in meetings?
- When women talk, what do men hear?
- How do you deal with gender differences?
- How do you leverage your gender strengths and weaknesses?
Join us for this webinar on April 28 at 9am Pacific Time (12pm Eastern) as we discuss how to overcome gender challenges! All you need is a phone line and internet access. We will provide you with log-in details after you've registered.
