Rationale of the Course
|
Evidence shows that when it comes to persuasion, influence and any form of communication that involves emotional impact, over 90 % of our impact on others comes from our non-verbal communication. Over 50% of out impact comes from our body language – that is, every movement that we make with our bodies as we communicate from the top of our head to the tips of our toes! Psychologists have long been studying the way we communicate with our bodies and have concluded that body language is a fundamental extension of verbal communication and is absolutely essential for humans to communicate effectively with other humans. Yet most people, when they communicate, focus their energy on what words they say rather on how they are saying them. Because body language happens at an unconscious level, few people are actively aware of the signals they are picking up and transmitting through body language. As a result, we often send the wrong messages without realising it. Psychologists have found that when words and body language contradict each other, it is our body language that gives the stronger message. This is why it is so important for us to aware and in control of the messages we give out through our body. We also tend to fail to pick up important messages that are transmitted through other people’s body language. These messages can provide vital information during negotiations, interviews, meetings, sales presentations, training sessions, etc. It is therefore essential that we tune in to our innate ability to read body language and “listen” to its important message. The Psychology of Body Language will provide participants the opportunity to learn about this fascinating aspect of human psychology and apply the learning to their every day reality in their work and personal life.

Course Content
|
· This programme focuses on the role of body language in the messages we give and receive during our daily interactions. Various studies in social psychology have shown that body language is responsible for up to 55% of the impact and effectiveness of our communication.
· The workshop will focus on improving your ability to be more receptive and perceptive to the non-verbal signals you receive from people around you. This includes reading facial expressions, hand gestures, postures, leg positions and understanding eye-accessing cues.
· You will also practice recognizing gesture clusters that indicate aggression, disinterest, anxiety, attraction, lying and disagreement. Through calibration exercises you will be able to focus on your attention on the subtleties of body movements as people express themselves.
· The programme will also focus on becoming more aware of the non-verbal messages you give out to people so that you can more effectively choose the message you want to transmit through your body language.
· You will have the opportunity to learn and practice the six Satir body language categories so that you can become more effective in the messages you give out to others and get feedback from the other participants.
