Powerful Body Language Techniques That Will Change Your Life

Ever been in a situation when you didn't quite believe what the other person was saying, they were agreeing with you verbally but maybe they were avoiding direct eye contact? Or maybe you were on a first date and were keen for a second, it had seemed to go well.... he/ she said "yes" to a second date, but they were folding their arms and the smile didn't reach their eyes?

Your gut said something is not ringing true and it would be right, as alongside verbal communication there is another quite silent but infinitely more powerful language- body language and it is responsible for over 80% of our communication to each other and the animal kingdom!

Imagine turning up at a job interview and giving them the best of you, without nerves pulling down your performance, how about dealing with a difficult colleague, imagine reading the signals correctly and being comfortable in your own skin on those nerve racking first dates....

This evening will be both informative and entertaining as we reveal 10 top tips of powerful body language that puts you in a better position to communicate effectively. What's more, by increasing your understanding of others, you can also become more aware of the messages that you convey to them.
