Course Overview

This course is provided by Learning4Business. Having completed this course you should be able to define the term ’body language’, explain the connection between body language and ’intuition’ and explain the meaning of postures, gestures and proxemics.

Most people, at some time or another, experience the feeling that another person is giving out ’vibes’. This feeling often leads them to believe that the person is feeling or thinking in a particular way, regardless of what he or she is actually saying. Some people are also given to feelings of ’intuition’ when they first meet someone. For reasons that they do not understand, they are able to make almost immediate judgements about likeability, attitude or honesty.

The vibes projected by other people, and the intuition processed by the individual, are almost always a result of the body language exhibited by the former, and unconsciously interpreted by the latter.

This course will introduce you to the subject of body language, and will enable you to explain why we frequently have intuitive reactions towards others. It will also enable you to identify why interpretive skills will improve their interpersonal communication.

Understanding why they have intuitive reactions towards others will result in staff and managers being more observant of, and sensitive to, the body language of others. This, in turn, will prepare them to develop their skills in interpreting and using body language to increase the effectiveness of their interpersonal communication.

The course is divided into 4 sections covering the following areas:

• what is body language?
• body language and intuition
• practical aspects of body language
• an overview of posture, gestures and proxemics

This course is aimed at anyone who wishes to explain why we frequently have intuitive reactions towards others. It will also enable you to identify why interpretive skills will improve their interpersonal communication.
