Body Language & YOU

Overview

This course will help you effectively understand the different forms of body language and their meanings. Do you ever wish you could know what someone is thinking? Or perhaps you wish to improve your non-verbal communication? Body language is a proven and great way to gain insights into how others think and feel. Learn about posturing, handshakes, eye movements, mirroring, differences among genders and much more. Having the ability to correctly interpret body language is a talent that can be mastered.

It is often said that in face-to-face and even body-to-body communications, the words we speak actually account for less than 10% of the message that we convey, while body language accounts for more than half of our message.

Body language can help you read people's emotions and understand their feelings with an accuracy that is close to 100%.

Body language doesn't only allow you to read people's emotions but it can also help you give the impression you want to people.
