Topic: The Power Of Nonverbal Communications

Topic Details:

• Nonverbal Communications
Nonverbal behaviors comprise approximately 60–80% of all interpersonal communication. They can reveal a person’s true thoughts, feelings, concerns, as well as intentions. This presentation is immediately practical, detailed and full of valuable pointers on how to decode the nonverbals that matter the most, how to communicate more effectively, and confidently, as well as persuasively. He will also cover how we use nonverbals in telephone conversations.

• Influence
The second part of the presentation will focus on “influence” – what it is and how to achieve it. Everything from your “curbside appeal” to lasting impressions that inspire and attract will be examined. Everything from how we use: time, color, space, touch, distance, simplicity, manners, words and gestures to how we communicate empathy, trust, and care will be explored. This part of the presentation explores what truly influences and motivates others. This is the perfect presentation for those interested in harnessing the power of influence through everything that is not a word.

• Five Traits of Exceptional Individuals
The final part of the presentation is dedicated to how we can differentiate ourselves. It explores how we need to go beyond work skills into people skills and how when we master the five traits of exceptional people.
