The importance of nonverbal communication in business and in one‘s personal life cannot be underestimated. Your ability to interpret the non-verbal messages of customers and colleagues using positive non-verbal communication is the key to enhancing workplace relationships, influencing others, and improving social relationships.
The study of non-verbal communication is much more than reading body language. In this course we‘ll introduce you to the components of non-verbal communication; demonstrate how to recognise the non-verbal messages of colleagues and customers; and show you how to adjust your own non-verbal communication to enhance positive and confident communication. No Concession.

Classes are organised into 4 terms each year, with speciality workshops running throughout the year.
