How to read body language

Body Language - technically known as kinesics is a significant aspect of modern communications and relationships. Learn how to read body language signs and gestures - non-verbal communications - for work, social, and all kinds of relationships. Easy and fun, this course teaches the student how to read our non verbal body language. Learn to read the unconscious cues that we all send and receive.  Whether we believe it or not, we are saying so much more about ourselves than we realise.

Body Language is therefore relevant to management and leadership, to acting and communicating and to all aspects of work and business where communications can be seen and physically observed among people.
