June 19, 2009SpeakStrong, the nothing box and gender brain differences

Filed under: Power Phrase Quick Tip by merylrunion |

You’ve got to love it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BxckAMaTDc Men have their ideas tucked into boxes that don’t touch. Women’s brains are webs…everything thought and experience is connected.

Stereotypes are dangerous ground but lightly embraced descriptors can sure add clarity.

We tend to assume that others think like we do. That’s why Speaking Strong is about the three stories – yours, theirs and ours. We speak from our own experience, incorporate theirs, and come up with a shared perspective.

Can a woman really find her way into a man’s “nothing box?” Does she even want to?

My response is, yes she can, but she can’t force her way there. And as far as wanting to goes, it’s a wonderfully compliment to the way her own mind works, so I would say yes, she does.
