Coping with Your Caveman

For more than 20 years, Roger Knowles has been liberating people from unhappy relationships.  As a leading divorce lawyer, he has observed the collapse of hundreds of relationships due to the inability of men and women to understand one another and communicate effectively.  Now, as a popular speaker, he is doing something about it!

Let this experienced divorce lawyer and acclaimed speaker explain why -

Say That Again, Dear?

An amusing, but enlightening talk, which highlights the difficulties in cross-gender communications. It explains some of the reasons for the difficulties and proposes some steps to improve the efficiency and reduce the frustration factor in communication between men and women.

Navigating the Gender Jungle

We all need to know more about the huge differences between the genders - apart from the obvious aspects, there are differences in the way that we think, act and communicate.  These are not immediately apparent to us, yet our lives are dominated by the tension and disappointments, which result from these factors.

In the business world, the feminine paradigms of connectivity and shared leadership, have been seeping into the mainstream (male) systems for years, but many men are still unaware of the nature of these 'new' thought systems.  In the same way, most women do not understand the way that men think and communicate.

Every person should strive to understand these differences and to adapt his or her behaviour, accordingly.  Thse presentation has bee created to serve as a light-hearted, but useful, introduction to the complex world of male / female communication.

Venus and Mars In The Office

This is a practical, entertaining and inspiring presentation based on the communication difficulties between men and women. It begins with a review of the different backgrounds of men and women, from their childhoods, through their formative years to adulthood. With compassion and plenty of humour, the speaker identifies the major differences between the genders, highlighting in particular, the issue of conversational style. It is in conversation, or the lack of it, that male/female relationships really come apart. Audiences recognise, and enjoy, the references to familiar situations.

Roger then goes on to point out how the differing communication styles of men and women lead to misunderstanding and friction at home or in the workplace. These problems can be reduced and even averted, through the serious application of some simple principles.

Finally, he identifies some of the wider problems of communication, which affect society today, and calls on the audience to apply some of the principles he has discussed, to the improvement of life in general. He encourages his audience to seize upon the amazing opportunities, which we have in South Africa today and move ahead to make improvements in their lives.
