Hey Jeff!
We’re happy to help you communicate better.
Congrats!
You’ve improved this week!
Your Response Time
20% slower
Did you know this month you responded to female colleagues 20% slower than you did to male colleagues?
Gut check...
Increased response times can occur for a variety of legitimate reasons, like different kinds of work you collaborate on with men vs women. That said, here are some questions you can ask yourself:
– Is it possible that your being slower to respond could be creating delays in their workflow?
– Is it possible that your slower response time might make your female colleagues feel less included or prioritized?
If this is something you'd like to work on...
Consider asking yourself “am I treating all messages the same?” the next time you are opting to place a message from a female colleague on the back burner.
Set goals to see improvements...
Did you know that people who set goals (even small ones like these) are more likely to improve because goals help trigger new behaviors and guide focus?
 |
Goal: I want to improve by trying to respond 5% quicker to female colleagues. |
Your Chatter
70% of the talking
Did you know when speaking to female colleagues you did 70% of the talking this month? That means you sent 2.5x the number of words they sent you.
Simply put, when speaking with females you talk more than they do.
Gut check...
Speaking more times can occur for a variety of legitimate reasons, like different kinds of work you collaborate on with men vs women. Here are some questions you can ask yourself:
– Is it possible that your speaking for the majority of the conversation could mean you are missing out on relevant details?
– Is it possible that your speaking for the majority of the conversation could make your female colleagues feel like you don’t value their opinion?
If this is something you'd like to work on...
When a conversation is wrapping up, check how much you’ve spoken versus a female colleague. If you’ve spoken much more, consider saying “Hey, I realize I’ve been doing the majority of talking here. Are there any other relevant details you’d like to mention here, or other topics you think we should discuss?“

Goal: To invite female colleagues to weigh in 2x more. |
Your Sentiment
Equal
You’re using an equal amount of positive sentiment with both men and women. An excellent example for equal treatment. GOOD JOB!
Keep on doing what you’re doing.
Set goals to keep it up...
You’ve worked hard and achieving sentiment equality is something to be proud of! Congratulations!
Changed behavior requires consistency which is why we suggest setting a goal to guide your focus and maintain sentiment equality over time.

Goal: Maintain equal sentiment toward male and female colleagues for 2 consecutive weeks. |
