In face-to-face communication, body language accounts for more than two thirds of the impact of your message. It is always more emotionally revealing and more emotionally accurate than what you say. One researcher claimed that in making a first impression, nonverbal communication is ten times more powerful than what you say!
In this session you will learn ways to enhance your own body language as well as how to understand the hidden messages sent by others. Special attention is given to how gender differences account for some forms of misunderstanding.
Learn how to use appearance, posture, gesture, facial expression, eye contact, and voice to communicate more effectively. Small changes in your behavior can create big results.
We examine three key points
The Power of First Impressions
Projecting Greater Personal Power
Establishing Rapport
