Body language is often believed more than words.

Is Your Body Talking Good Business?

Attend “Body Language for Business” and communicate with greater impact

Whatever the business, communicating positively is important. We spend so much time focusing on the spoken word (content) and yet nonverbal communication such as posture, body language, facial expression and eye contact can easily either support or detract from our message.

Nonverbal communication affects business results

Achieving business goals and personal objectives depend largely on the quality of communication, and body language is so powerful that it can even determine the overall impact of a message.

How would you like to know exactly what messages are being sent to others via nonverbal channels, and how would you like to be able to interpret others’ body language more effectively as well?

Body language speaks volumes.

How helpful would it be for your managers and/or staff to gain greater insights and capabilities into their own and others’ nonverbal behaviour? The public seminar "Body Language for Business" is a great way to explore and expand understanding and effectiveness in this key area of business communication.

Actors help the facilitator, Mary-Louise Angoujard bring this theme to life and demonstrate exactly how nonverbal communication really works in business communication.

In this one-day seminar you will:

• understand how the three aspects of “context, congruence and clusters” in body language work in numerous kinds of typical business situations
• discover how your posture and stance affect your own thinking and confidence – as well as your personal impact, authority and credibility
• explore the impact of space-awareness in business situations
• learn how to build rapport more easily and feel more at ease, and also help others feel at ease with you
• dispel common myths about body language (hint: just because someone’s arms are crossed it doesn’t necessarily mean they are feeling “defensive” towards you)
• recognise the effective and the ineffective aspects of your own nonverbal communication habits
• become aware of the signs to watch out for in other people’s body language
• find out the best ways to get a conversation or business meeting back on track when you feel you are losing someone’s interest
• understand the difference between matching and mirroring in body language, and how to do this well
• gain insights into some typical body language do’s and don’ts in other countries around the world

First impressions count.

The impact of nonverbal communication, when coupled with good verbal skills, product quality and know-how, definitely makes a difference to the bottom line in any business.

Topics covered include:

• posture and stance effect
• eye contact
• personal presence
• energy
