If you have a point you want to communicate to someone, it's important to be aware of how that person sees the world. Men and women, for instance, have different styles of communication. You cannot assume that all women or all men relate to a situation in the same way. In addition to gender, age and culture also influence how people interact with each other. We often respond to a situation on the basis ofour previous experiences.Consider this example: a family is sitting outside an operating room waiting to hear what the doctor has to say about a family member's surgery. Your grandparents might be surprised to see that the surgeon is a young woman, while you would probably expect there to be many female physicians on the hospital staff. The surgeon should also be aware of the family's concerns and relate to them confidently and professionally.So keep in mind that if you want to get your message across successfully, you should not only think about what to say, but also how to say it, depending on who's listening.
