Description Body language is a subset of non-verbal communication where physical expressions convey information in place of words. Such communication, triggered by both the conscious and unconscious minds includes posture, gestures, facial expressions, eye movement, and the use of space. Nonverbal communication forms a significant part of information transferred between two parties. Although it is manifested daily unconsciously, its existence is rarely acknowledged. As it is not well structured, body language can be ambiguous. Thus, it should be interpreted loosely and contextually. Identifying body language gives better insights and connections with others. This creates effective communication saving much time and misunderstanding.

Topics covered:

  1. Define the importance of the fundamentals in body language
  2. Identify facial expressions, postures, hand gestures and eye movements
  3. Describe positive and negative non-verbal signals
  4. Display the correct signals and interpret other people’s signals
  5. Integrate your voice and body gestures to convey sincerity and trust
  6. Lead in matching and mirroring vocals and body gestures
  7. Contrast genuine and fake non-verbal communication
  8. Implement Virginia Satir poses
  9. Digital body language
