Can you determine how someone is communicating just by looking at them? It is a skill that many people do not have. Non-verbal communication is not just about body language. Understanding various other types of non-verbal communication cues provides an advantage when communicating with others. Being able to read non-verbal signals that are beyond basic body language interpretations will allow you to adjust and improve the way you communicate.
This 1-hour webinar will provide you with a comprehensive awareness of many types of non-verbal messages and help you understand that what is not said is equally important to what is said. Through this session you will be provided with insight that can be used to enhance your ability to interpret what others may be thinking or feeling. You will walk away with the ability to see and understand how even your own non-verbal communication is being deciphered by others.
