Techniques that build Confidence
What is Body Language
Body language is non-verbal communication. We are all giving off signals through our body language all the time. Expressions like, 'chin up', 'stand offish' or having 'shifty eyes' clearly demonstrate that we are always giving and receiving information through body language.
The way that we sit, stand, walk and talk speaks volumes about how we feel and think.
Our meetings with others are becoming more frequent and fleeting... the phrase, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression" has never been so important.
Conversation is most often used to form bonds, with very little factual information being given. Therefore body language is crucial in building rapport. In fact, the definition of rapport is: 'non-verbally travelling together'.
The CIA has used body language in training espionage agents. Operative David Forden was quoted saying, "If someone surprises you. always keep eye-contact. That way you don't look shifty-eyed, but more importantly all he will notice is your eyes".
Different professions have their own characteristics. FBI agent Joe Navarro once stated, "Police officers often give themselves away... they have a habit of staring too intently and carefully at others".
The Training
Research has proved that less than 10% of our communication comes from the words we speak.
We provide training that will give you the skills, tools and techniques to make the other 90% work for you and your company.
That 90% breaks down into two key areas of communication:
· 20% is your tone of voice
· 70% comes entirely from your body language
This explains why peace talks are always done face to face and why text messages are often confusing!
We offer designed training sessions that are specific for the needs of your company. Whether you are preparing for an exhibition, looking to improve salesmanship, staff rapport or customer relationships. We will provide the answers.
The Seminars
We run training days and team building days that will suit any requirements you have.
The seminars include all of the body language training, plus extra sessions on vocal techniques, charisma, confidence and special guest speakers. Our team building days include a lot of fun and games, certain to strengthen any company!
The fee includes all training materials.
The training is highly interactive and so class sizes are strictly limited.
