Successful Body Language (1 day)

If you're leading a meeting, delivering a proposal or trying to convince people that what you are saying is a good idea, your body language is also "communicating" as you speak. And if your body language is in sync with your message then you stand a far greater chance of success. Body language awareness can also give you an edge when negotiating. If you are able to read possible signals from the other people you are dealing with - it can help you identify likely areas to investigate further to potentially get yourself a better deal.

This one day workshop is designed to help you increase your personal impact by improving your awareness and utilisation of successful body language techniques. Throughout the day you will explore the use of body language through group exercises, role play and group discussion. Video will also be used as an additional form of feedback.

Training Outcomes:-

  • Discover when body language is an important mode of communication
  • Use body language to increase your personal impact
  • Increase your presence and strengthen your command over your listeners

  • Learn how to read and interpret signals of others
  • Learn how to apply body language to help control tension and conflict

Public course fees are £297 + VAT (£348.98 inc VAT) per delegate.
