March 5, 2008 5:45 pm: Jennie Ayers, Challenge It Now: In the Presence of Women
|
|
|
|
“In the Presence of Women”
An introduction to the complex and evolutionary language and power styles women use to engage in the world of work. Drawing on research from such notables as Evelyn Murphy, Lisa Lahey, David McClelland, Susan Murphy and Pat Heim, we look at the working relationships women build and why these relationships tend to polarize and become dysfunctional if not managed with awareness and sensitivity. Unfortunately, it’s not just the “glass ceiling” that can sabotage a woman’s advancement and success – but other women – if we don’t understand the unique ways in which we connect, collaborate and share power. Women have their own language – women speak – communication codes, norms and protocol unique to their gender. Women also have a unique leadership and influence style which they bring to business and organizations. Conditions in the world today are ripe for an emergence of women leaders…if they come to understand that, to be effective leaders and have influence, they must stop forcing their voices into the wingtip shoes of patriarchy.
Jennie Ayers, Principal, brings more than 20 years of experience as a writer, director and performer in both theatre and television to the business industry. As a writer, she has written over 25 episodes of television comedy for shows that have included such names as Judd Hirsch, John Stamos, Queen Latifah, Jay Mohr and a young Halle Berry . Two especially enjoyable years were spent writing for comic Jeff Foxworthy. In conjunction with her writing, Jennie also guided performers as an acting coach, both in Los Angeles and as a resident director and producer with the renowned Eureka Theatre in San Francisco . Through her expertise in improvisation, Jennie has worked with individuals and teams to build spontaneity, hone creativity and agile thinking and strengthen an individual’s ability to act, react and interact. She developed the improvisational field guide used in the Intentional WorkClimate™ system. Jennie has a BA from the University of Missouri , Columbia and completed her MA work at San Francisco State University. She is also a trained HealthRHYTHMS® facilitator. HealthRHYTHMS® is a research-based protocol that focuses on the health, wellness and team building benefits of group drumming.

![DrLaurel[2].JPG](/Portals/0/DrLaurel[2].JPG) Listening with the Heart
A refined listening ability makes you magnetic and attractive. It is a key for success whether you are in sales, service, human resources, management, teaching, or consulting. The art of true listening is more than what you hear with your ears. It is being aware of another’s thoughts, feelings, and unspoken assumptions. This is a skill you can cultivate to discern the needs of your clients, employees, co-workers or anymore you serve.
Listening to you is also essential for clear communications. Do you ever wonder if you are being heard? Do you say what you mean? Learning universal principles for clear and direct communication will empower you to become an effective and dynamic leader.
Dr. Laurel Clark is the President of the School of Metaphysics, a not-for-profit educational organization with 16 branches in 10 states. A teacher since 1979, Dr. Clark is also an author, counselor, and interfaith minister.
