Speaker Bio

Tracey Weigel is founder and president of United Communication Experts, LLC. Tracey is a linguist who educates people on how communication is shaped and impacted by gender, age, ethnicity, culture, and social status; and how these factors cause people to misunderstand and misinterpret one another.

On January 5, Tracey’s seminar will provide real-world, useful information that will positively affect the way you interact with every person you communicate with on a daily basis.

He Said. She Said. They Heard...

... looks at the role of gender in relation to communication. Tracey discusses the interactive relationship among gender, language, thought & culture; and the ways communication creates and perpetuates gender identities and gender interaction.

Through this program you will learn:

  • The difference between gender neutral and gender equal language
  • Which is best to use in the work place and in life
  • How to achieve conversational success through the understanding of genderlect variation.
