  5. Dealing with Stress! • Men focus more and resist change • Women expand and share feelings • For men this sharing = complaining and avoiding responsibility • Women's response to resistance = 4 D’s! (draw back, defend, detail or demand) • Each response alienates the other

  6. Feelings in the Workplace • Men share + feelings for trust & respect • Women share +/- feelings to build relationships • Men: personal feelings are blaming “I’ll keep this to myself” • Women: impersonal feelings are blaming “I don’t want to be rude, I should explain how I feel”
