The unspoken Message
It is well-known that the impact of our communication is largely determined by non-verbal means. Our body speaks in ways which both display our confidence and trustworthiness as well as attempt to hide hidden agendas and emotions like deceit, anger and fear. This course will examine the “unspoken message”. It will explore the essential elements of body language and how to use them to appear professional in your self-presentation and to effectively communicate your message. Taking the time to look deeper into the 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. Observation of others is next. Keen awareness and acute observation will have impact in all of your professional interactions. This course will also review methods of observation to help you read the signals conveyed by others when they are speaking and listening to you to enable you to interpret and discern the truthfulness and intentions behind their words. This begins a complex process of the puzzle to be pieced together. There is no magic formula; however, becoming more attentive, sensitive and aware of your own body language and to that of others will increase the possibility of an accurate interpretation and more effective communication. Situations will be discussed in which your body language, and awareness of the body language of others, will make a difference. The workshop includes an engaging combination of participatory activities.
