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 an impact on all of your professional interactions.
