Effective Leadership & Communication Through Awareness of Body Language & Non-Verbal Communication

About

This workshop will improve your communication and relationships with others when leading, supported by more awarness of your nonverbal- communication behavior. You will learn to use your body-language to get your messages across in clear and effective ways.

Course content
Research proves that around 70 percent of all meaning in social interaction is derived from nonverbal behavior. This means that when you are well aware of your own body-language and the body-language of others you are able to communicate more concordant and effective and meaningful in leadership and in private relationships. Through developing body-awareness, recognizing non-verbal communication patterns and practicing observation skills you become able to empower your body and mind more effectively and meaningful during social interaction.
