Effective Nonverbal Communication
(0.7 ceu)
This dynamic workshop, based on years of empirical study, helps improve the way you communicate by focusing on the nonverbal aspects of communication. Nonverbal communication can reinforce what you say, but when not used effectively, it can weaken your message. This course focuses on techniques of expression including gestures, body movements, positions and postures, the voice, breathing techniques, sustaining eye contact, the use of silence, and more, with an emphasis on consistency between verbal and nonverbal communication. It also examines how nonverbal communication can be used as a tool to influence others in difficult contexts (such as lecturing to an unsettling group) and to optimize the impact of your message in various settings, such as job interviews and business negotiations.
