Research shows that your credibility, confidence, likability, and trustworthiness are evaluated within seconds. That means that even if you’ve rehearsed your words perfectly, and you say all the right things, if your body language isn’t in alignment with what you say; you lose.
Our brains react to nonverbal messages before anything else. That’s how we’re wired.
The impact of your nonverbal communication lies in the perception of what others think. People make an emotional decision about what they see, and it takes a long time, and a lot of evidence to change their minds. By then, the damage is done.
Understand and interpret the nonverbal signs you’re communicating as well as the signs others are sharing so you can build rapport and develop trust with anyone.
Participants will learn how to:
- Decipher body language clearly and accurately using an Agenda FilterTM
- Use insider techniques used by law enforcement to build rapport quickly and easily with anyone, even in challenging environments.
- Express empathy and confidence with their body language, turning first impressions into winning impressions.
