Known as "non-verbal communication", body language represents 55% of person-to-person communications, so learning how to use it and read it will give you a real advantage in improving your ability to communicate with others both in the workplace and at home.
The PD Training 1-day Body Language course teaches you how to recognise the body language of others, while also helping you become more aware of what your own body is communicating. You’ll learn how to read facial expressions, hand gestures, body posturing, voice variations and unconscious movements. You'll also be

Body Language Training OUTLINE
Foreword:
The ability to interpret body language is a skill that will enhance anyone’s career. Body language is a powerful, subconscious form of communication, and just like any other form of communication, it can be improved with practice.

This intriguing professional development training course will teach you the secrets of how to identify what people are really thinking and feeling as expressed by their body posturing, hand gestures and facial expressions. There are also cultural differences to take into consideration as some cultures have very vivid and wild gesturing while others are very somber and reserve. There are also gender-related body language patterns that require consideration too.
Outcomes:
In this course participants will: Understand the range of nonverbal behaviours that comprise ‘body language’ Understand the nuances of handshakes and touch Understand how your personal style influences your body language Match body language to words Know how to read facial expressions Interpret common gestures Interpret eye contact Understand power poses Know the sign of a fake smile and when someone is lying to you Understand the differences in body language across cultures
