When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

This course empowers emerging and experienced leaders to interpret, evaluate, and apply non-verbal communication techniques for impactful leadership. Through a structured breakdown of body language principles—including posture, gestures, and eye contact—learners will explore how subtle, unspoken cues influence perception, trust, and credibility in professional settings.

The course begins by introducing core concepts and the significance of body language in leadership. It then guides learners through an analytical understanding of oculesics (eye communication) and concludes with practical strategies to demonstrate openness, assertiveness, and engagement using non-verbal cues. Throughout the course, learners will engage in scenario-based quizzes, reflective exercises, and critical analysis, enabling them to assess and refine their own non-verbal communication styles. By the end, participants will be able to apply body language techniques with confidence and precision to inspire, motivate, and lead with authenticity.
