Course overview

Body language comprises almost 80% of human communication. It is of great importance in all business and social situations. When there is conflict between the spoken word and the messages the body sends out, the body language is stronger, and people tend to believe the message they see rather than the one they hear.  This course shows you how to ‘read’ and use body language effectively to avoid creating confusion and to maximise co-operation, and promotes an understanding of the difference between congruous and incongruous behaviour.
