Course overview
We all know when someone isn’t telling us something. Maybe they avoid eye contact. Maybe they’ve made themselves seem smaller, or moved away from us. No matter what they’re saying, their body is giving you a very clear signal.
You already pick up on more nonverbal cues than you’re aware of. Studies have shown that, when we communicate, the words we use only account for a small portion of the information conveyed. The majority is all to do with the visual elements. That’s body language and facial expressions.
Understanding the importance of body language won’t help your teams read their colleagues’ minds, but it will give them great insight into how everyone is feeling.
