Online Body Language Course
Robert Menard, Certified Purchasing Professional, Certified Professional Purchasing Consultant
Body Language is an arcane subject that intrigues everyone. We are all experts in it to various extents. We usually focus on the signals of others, unaware, until we become self conscious, of the messages we transmit to them
The mastery of Body Language interpretation and control of our own leads to greater success in business negotiation and interpersonal relationships.
Do these questions ever cross your mind?
- How do you know if he is lying to me?
- What are her gestures saying?
- Am I tipping my hand with my body?
- Do we really transmit more than half of our meaning non-verbally?
- How can I “neutralize” my gestures?
Interpretation of Body Language requires an understanding of the 4 C’s: Clusters, Congruity, Consistency, and Culture.
- Clusters refers to gestures coming in groups to have meaning
- Congruity relates to the situation
- Consistency is between verbal and body languages
- Culture refers to nationality and gender.
