This workshop helps participants be aware of non-verbal cues and signals for effective communication with others.

Introduction

A key ingredient to striking and maintaining a positive first impression is body language. Unconsciously, the body telegraphs thoughts when folding arms, crossing legs, standing, walking, moving the eyes and mouth. These reveal mood, personality, and self-esteem.

The body doesn't know how to lie. The more you appear to be in charge, the more people approve of you. By creating habits of positive body language you can control how others perceive and respond to you.

While we have some positive and practical practices in behaviors and engagement, it is critical to understand the preferences of our guests to build a relationship beyond mere formalities to ensure success.
