Experts agree that only 7% of our communication is verbal, and the remaining 93% is made up of non-verbal communication: our tone and body language.
We all use non-verbal communication every day and barely pay attention to what our bodies are saying about us or if our tone and body language match the message we are speaking.
Oftentimes, body language is subconscious. At its most instinctive level, it is the ability humans have to sum up a situation (or person) quickly.
Your posture, hand gestures, the tone of voice you use, inflections you give to words, pauses in presentations, your eye movements, and even what you wear, can all convey meaning. They can work together to help you make a powerful first impression, build authentic relationships, and influence and persuade people.
In the new course, you'll learn everything you need to know about body language, from casual conversations to presentations to stakeholders. By the end of this course, you'll be able to deliberately use positive body language to help you become a more effective communicator.
