Nonverbal Communication Workshop

Date(s):
July 31, 2024
Venue:
Northwest Public Power Association
Description:

Who Should Attend:

Utility and community leaders, customer service representatives, human resources professionals, field employees, and anyone who engages in frequent human interactions.

Course Overview:

Solid communication skills are paramount if you desire to gain buy-in from your colleagues, leadership, friends, and family. However, your words are only part of your communication repertoire. Studies show 55% of communication is nonverbal and two people will signal over 800 nonverbal cues over the course of a 30-minute conversation.

This highly entertaining and informational full-day workshop will teach you the principles of body language and techniques you can use immediately to enhance your communication and influence.

Course Objectives:

  • Gain an appreciation and full understanding of what drives human dynamics and how you display your emotions and intent through nonverbal cues.
  • Learn the five body language channels and how to apply them at work and in life.
  • Understand how your vibe affects others and alters the human dynamics of a situation.
  • Learn negotiation and facilitation techniques and how to leverage body language to your advantage in negotiations and customer interactions.
