About this session
Communication starts before anyone says a word.
Body Language Mastery is an interactive communication lab. Participants explore how posture, gesture, facial expression, personal space, movement and camera presence affect how a message is received.
It does not teach people to “decode” colleagues. It helps them separate what they observe from what they assume, and use their own nonverbal communication more deliberately, in the room and on video.
What your people take away
- Separate observable behavior from assumption
