Schwarz is well-known for his work related to gender issues. Given the need for equality in every business environment—despite the fact that men and women will never be the same—his lessons on understanding and appreciating the differences between the sexes are critical and vital. After all, men and women have never labored so closely together, so whether we're talking about supervisors and subordinates, team members, salespeople and customers, the challenges facing the sexes in professional relationships are ever-present.

Genders communicate differently, process information differently, and react differently. These differences often impact how men and women sell products to one another or negotiate. They might well influence customers' perceptions. And they certainly have a bearing on management issues, regardless of who is manager or subordinate. Gender issues are often at the center of office conflicts, decreased productivity and low morale. With Dr. Bob's help these pitfalls can be avoided and colleagues and team members will actually learn how to capitalize on their differences instead of stumbling over them.

Within this particular area of expertise, Dr. Bob offers programs on Mars & Venus in the Workplace | Managing & Resolving Conflicts Between the Sexes | Communication, Competence & Confidence: A Woman's Guide to the Hidden Role of Gender in Success | Understanding What Motivates Men and Women.
