Body Language, Creative Expression And Personal Branding

Description Of Presentation

Our body constantly communicates, indicating our attitudes and feelings, emphasising and clarifying, revealing and concealing. The importance of nonverbal communication has long been recognised in business textbooks, manuals, classrooms and trainings. It is hard to ignore the presence and influence of body language in making oral presentations, interviewing for jobs, managing meetings, modeling leadership qualities and interacting in the international arena. Landmark studies by A. Mehrabian (Silent Messages, 1981) have pointed out that as much as 93% of communication meaning may be carried through nonverbal channels.

Taking the time to look deeper into the movement patterns and habits which govern your daily actions will produce surprising and meaningful insights about your self-image and your means of interacting with people. Awareness of your body language is the first step.

This course is participatory and interactive. The mind is moved and stretched along with the body. Body language basics of eye contact, facial expression, gesture, posture, movement, space and distance will be discussed and the focus will be on ways to be aware of and effectively use body language in your leadership role, whether it is speaking before large groups, dealing with staff and new hires, working with colleagues, negotiating, selling, and relations with the public.

Be prepared for a unique and intriguing experience!
