Product Information

Gender discrimination comes in many forms in the workforce for today’s working women, not just in communication alone. According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, about four in ten working women (42%) in the United States say they have faced discrimination on the job because of their gender. It is no secret that communication is important in the workplace. But we would be remiss to say that it has equal weight for everyone — because, for women, communication often plays a larger part in their success, likeability and the trajectory of their careers. This is based on some serious gender bias.

Beautiful Artwork and Designs. Well-crafted illustrations and designs that lay the groundwork for you to create your own frame-worthy masterpieces. If it’s not the first rule, it should always be the second. Never comment on a coworker’s appearance — especially in a negative way. They could be going through something, or simply didn’t get enough sleep, but this comment can come across as offensive. Instead, keep it to yourself. Say this, instead:I’d be happy to help you figure out how to reach your goal.” Offering help, instead of saying it’s immediately not your responsibility, shows that you care and will help where you can, even if that’s finding out who can better perform the task. 2. Don’t Say: “You look tired today.” This is a huge one. You should never ask such invasive questions as this. It can be harmful, rude and can come off as judgmental, even if you’re not trying to be. A person’s gender is theirs to disclose if they want to. If you’re curious about someone’s preferred pronouns, however, ask a person what their preferred pronouns are, so you can use them accordingly. Say this, instead:

Another golden rule: never ask how old someone is. One, it’s not your business. Two, it can come across as ageist, even if you don’t mean it that way. Instead, it’s best to focus on other appropriate ways to get to know your coworkers. Say this, instead: Again, be a team player. No one likes working with someone who makes it feel like a burden. Say this, instead: If you want people to assume you’re unhelpful and not a team player, sure. If not, steer clear of it. Say this, instead: Remember that thing your teacher used to say in school? There is no such thing as stupid questions. It still applies in the workplace, too. You’re selling yourself short leading with this and it can come across and unconfident. Say this, instead:

14. Don’t Say: “This may be stupid but…”

It is an ongoing effort to battle these gender biases and build awareness around the topic with employees, coworkers and managers. There is still a lot of work to be done. The gap in how communication is perceived in the workplace often creates a divide between men, women and non-binary folks, who are all learning to navigate communication and learn what is appropriate.

I am confident I can get this done by *insert date here*” 12. Don’t Say: “I don’t have time for this.”

Unless you want to be like Sarah from The Labyrinth, stop saying “It’s not fair.” It presents as whiny and unsupportive in the office. It’s often used when someone else is promoted, or someone got a raise, and another person didn’t. Instead of saying this, make a case for yourself, and see what happens. Say this, instead: Suitable for All Skill Levels. This coloring book offers a broad variety of designs suited for all skill levels - ranging from beginner to expert level. You can either come into conversations with “I know…” or if you don’t you can say “I’d love to explore this further.” 11. Don’t Say: “I’ll try.” High Resolution Printing. Each image is printed in high resolution to offer crisp, sharp designs that enable trouble free coloring and high quality display.
