Women are more complicated communicators than men, who have a tendency to pronounce and bloviate, and that makes for better writing in talky work.

Women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speak by something outside himself like, for instance, he can't find any clean socks.

A women knows how to keep quiet when she is in the right, whereas a man, when he is in the right, will keep on talking.

Women tend to double-speak - I'm definitely guilty of that.

Women have a greater verbal capacity.

Women like men who listen. We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen twice as much as we speak.

Women are thought to be more social, more interested in relationships and connections, better at multi-tasking.

It might seem at first surprising that when I studied women and men talking at work, I found that women 'interrupted' each other more often than men did - when they were in all-women conversations.

Women communicate differently and process information differently, which leads them to resolve conflicts differently.

Most women prefer circles of sharing to pyramids and hierarchies. They prefer conversation to construction. They will usually choose nurturance and empathy over competition and climbing. They will normally choose connection over simple performance games.
