Event Details
Just when executives have mastered becoming technology literate, they find there’s another skill they need: becoming female literate. This isn’t always easy in the male-dominated business world. Bridget provides a roadmap on how to evaluate sales, marketing, branding and product design from a female perspective. She will discuss:
• How women grew up within a culture of their own gender that is invisible to men
• How women’s brains differ from men’s, and why they often notice aspects of products, marketing campaigns and sales environments that men may overlook
• The six most important global trends affecting women and determining their needs and wants
