    About this ebook

    Ready to take your career to the next level? Find out everything you need to know about effective body language with this practical guide.

    In our interactions with colleagues and customers, our actions often speak louder than our words: regardless of what we are saying, our movements and gestures may betray our true feelings and get in the way of the message we want to convey. Consequently, if you want to develop strong professional relationships and communicate persuasively, you must learn to understand, interpret and control your body language.

    In 50 minutes you will be able to:
    • Identify the body language that is holding you back at work
    • Control your nonverbal communication to project confidence, interest and sincerity
    • Interpret the body language of the people you are speaking to in order to understand their intentions and motivations

    ABOUT 50MINUTES.COM| COACHING

      The Power of Body Language - 50minutes

      Issue: how can I use my verbal and body language to communicate clearly and persuasively?

      Uses: since body language is an integral part of day-to-day communication, mastering it allows you to only express what you want to express in order to be as professional as possible at work. Understanding how it works also makes it easier to understand your colleagues’ behaviour and be in tune with them.

      Professional context: job interviews, presentations, negotiating, client management, social contact within the company, etc.

      FAQs:

      How can I hide my anxiety to seem sure of myself?

      How can I eliminate mannerisms which unnecessarily distract the person I am talking to?

      What attitudes should I avoid to make a less senior colleague feel comfortable?

      How can I convince a client that my product is the best?

      How can I present a project to my colleagues?

      How can I interpret the behaviour of the person I am talking to?

      Who among us has not practised an interview speech until we have perfected it, only to stumble once we are in front of another person? If you are familiar with this situation and feel disheartened that you cannot control every aspect of the message you are delivering, take comfort, because it is entirely possible to learn to regulate the finer details of your body language in order to achieve your goals.

      Since your facial expressions, gestures and posture seem to have as much persuasive power as your words, it is essential to spot the elements which convey states of mind, emotions or truths. These are sometimes buried deep within your subconscious, but they can nonetheless put you at a disadvantage on the big day.
