EXPLORE THE SIGNALS WE OFTEN OVERLOOK
Eye contact and gaze. Facial movements. Hand gestures. Posture. Personal space. Touch. Speaking pace and volume.
Pauses, interruptions and shared laughter.
Each lesson helps you separate what you can observe from the story you might attach to it.
WHO THIS GUIDE IS FOR
Adults who want to become more attentive communicators at work, in friendships and in everyday life. No previous knowledge of body language is needed.
A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE
