This course is designed to empower professionals with the skills to identify, analyze, and apply body language techniques that enhance interpersonal communication in the workplace. Through two structured modules, learners will first explore the psychological and emotional cues behind non-verbal behaviors—such as expressions of confidence, nervousness, attentiveness, or defensiveness—and then transition into practical strategies involving handshakes, gestures, posture, eye contact, and spatial dynamics.
