Body Language

While we speak, write, and present, another, often subconscious, means of communication is the way we hold ourselves. Body language, though often not our primary focus, reveals much more about ourselves than we imagine. Developing the right body language can help you gain confidence, achieve greater respect among your peers, and have others take your words more seriously. With the Octus Body Language course, you will learn the basics of good body language, as well as common pitfalls to avoid. By combining strong body language with good communication skills, you will be prepared for success in almost every sphere of professional and personal life. Given that body language varies tremendously across cultures, Octus takes great care in ensuring you are made aware of how expectations vary across cultures.
