"Executive Presence--It's More Than What You Say"
Men and women have different communication styles both verbally and non- verbally. This presentation will focus on the differences of the genders' non-verbal communication. Women non-verbally speak the language of submissiveness, affiliation and low status, while men non-verbally speak the language of dominance, high status and power. Come have some fun and see how this happens!
Attendance is $10 for preregistered Chamber members and exhibitors. $15 at the door and for nonmembers.
