Today my colleague Jigar gave me a few tips of how to please women and of course girls in any organization as well as personal life. I am sharing it with you all. Please give your feed back and share your experiences related to this kind of thing.
Give them choices Giving choice to a girl means giving them the authority and the power to take decision. This is a psychological factor which plays a great role in making them more productive and efficient
Notice how you interact. When you’re in a small group,
do you tend to exchange more eye contact with the men in it? Do you
speak more often to men than to women? If you do notice a bias toward
men, try shifting your attention slightly. Shake the woman’s hand, and
exchange eye contact with her even if she’s not talking. If she’s being
quiet, ask for her thoughts. (Don’t overdo all this, though, as you
could raise the discomfort level.)
Actively listen. It’s easy to “hear past” someone who
is talking. (Our minds work about five times the speed of our mouths.
In our rush to finish the speaker’s thought and put our own two cents
in, we shut the other person down.) If you have a bias, it’s even
easier to want to interrupt. Slow down and listen.
If your response demonstrates that you’ve heard what she’s said, she’ll
feel more enabled to contribute more fully to your organization.
