Actions Speak Louder Than Words: Understanding Nonverbal Communications

Event description
It’s a scientific fact that a person’s body gestures give away her true intentions. Actually, over ninety percent of all face-to-face communication is nonverbal; thus, the silent messages of the body often reveal more than the spoken word in conveying true feelings and attitudes. Jan Hargrave, expert in the field of nonverbal communication and author of Let Me See Your Body Talk, Freeway of Love, Judge the Jury, Strictly Business Body Language, and Poker Face, helps you discover how to:

• Make a positive impression on others.
• Communicate ideas more powerfully.
• Detect the “micro-expressions” of deception.
• Recognize cultural nonverbal diversity and global customs.
• Develop nonverbal leadership competencies.
• Become nonverbally more assertive.
• Understand quick ways to sharpen rapport…mirroring/matching.
• Read others—what they say and, more importantly, what they try desperately not to say.
• Comprehend behaviors that ensure inclusiveness in any environment.

Clear, practical and fun, this seminar offers a wealth of detailed information concerning the “hidden messages” of the people around you as well as yourself. Jan Hargrave’s fascinating presentation gives you the advantages you need to make in-depth character assessments during negotiations as well as an increased ability to form more successful and rewarding relationships.

This evening's event includes a light dinner.
