 It is estimated that as much as 70% of human communication is carried out through non verbal channels.

WHY THEN DO WE APPEAR TO TAKE SO LITTLE

NOTICE OF SOMETHING THAT PLAYS SUCH A PROMINENT PART IN OUR LIVES ?????

Often BODY LANGUAGE speaks louder than words therefore dictates how people react to you & how you perceive them.

 Appropriate use of BODY LANGUAGE for self expression is vital to our social - & consequently our emotional well being..

Body Language is the unspoken communication that goes on in every Face-to-Face encounter with another human being.

It tells you their true feelings towards you and how well your words are being received.

 Your ability to read and understand another person's Body Language can mean the difference between making a great impression or a very bad one!!!!!

BODY LANGUAGE matters everywhere.

JOB INTERVIEW

CRUCIAL MEETING

BUISNESS FUNCTION

SPECIAL DATE

FAMILY RELATIONS

 Every one of us has experienced the feeling of instant like or dislike of someone but without necessarily knowing why.

We just weren't happy, there was something about them. We often refer to this as a hunch or gut feeling, two descriptions directly relating to our own body's physiological reaction.

 To assert your authority, wear RED..

Red makes you look and feel confident and in control and gives you an energy boost.

Avoid it, however, if you want others to open up to you. you'll intimidate them.

Wear GREEN.. to help you concentrate - it will focus your attention on what needs to be done.

 PURPLE.. is a brain-booster, so wear that when you need to be bursting with ideas.

BLUE.. will calm you in times of stress, but avoid it if you want to be creative.

BLACK gets you taken seriously, but can make you conform to the corporate stereotype - it'd be hard to stand out or have any flair.

 Lean forward a little, cock your head slightly to one side and make eye contact for a few seconds. Don't let your eyes wander above their head or they'll know you're faking it.
If you're in a meeting, or a panel interview, don't try to make eye contact with everyone at once - it will affect your ability to concentrate on what you're saying. The rule of thumb is to focus on the last person that spoke.

 When you're talking to your boss, keep your hands where they can see them. Nobody's afraid you're going to brandish a blade and try to stab your supervisor, but your boss' subconscious mind could register your hidden hands as a sign you're untrustworthy. That doesn't mean you should wave them about as you talk either - Wild gesticulation will merely attract attention to your hands rather than the content of your speech.

FIRST STEPS
Always grasp the interviewer's hand firmly Look him straight in the eye when introduced

Thank him for taking the time to talk

Never sit down before the interviewer Don't throw yourself in the chair like a teenager preparing to sink into a vegetative state in front of the TV

MAINTAIN EYE CONTACT

Always maintain eye contact when speaking This says you're confident, prepared and engaged in the conversation If you're speaking to more than one person, glance quickly around the room and return to the person who asked the question Don't stare at anyone unless you're a mad Russian priest named Rasputin

RELAX
Sit in a relaxed manner, but don't slouch or appear slovenly Everyone knows what's on the line during an interview, and a relaxed manner suggests confidence Don't kick back, because that undercuts your stated interest in the job opportunity

COMMON BODY LANGUAGE

Arms folded across your chest is often seen as a defensive posture or, at best, as reserved and uninterested in the conversation Standing with your hands in your pockets suggests a lack of confidence or unease Sitting with legs crossed while shaking one leg or wiggling a foot suggests nervousness or severe discomfort Staring blankly at the floor suggests a profound lack of interest in the conversation

COMMON BODY LANGUAGE

Rubbing or touching your nose during a response suggests that you're not being completely honest Rubbing the back of your head or neck suggests you're bored by the conversation Pointing your feet toward the door or leaning in that direction suggests that you want to end the conversation quickly and flee perhaps in panic Slouching in the chair suggests you're unprepared for the interview, or that, deep in your heart, you know you're not up to the task

CONCLUSION
Communication through body language has been going on for over a million years but has only been scientifically studied to any extent in the last twenty years or so; it became popular during the 1970s. By the end of this century it will have been discovered by people throughout the world and I predict that its impact and meaning in human communication will be part of formal education. This presentation has served as an introduction to body language and I encourage you to seek further knowledge through your own research and experience and through the examples given..
