Reading Body Language: An Introduction to Non-Verbal Communication

Over ninety percent of our daily communication is non-verbal, yet most people only focus on spoken words. Understanding the subtle signals people send through their posture, gestures, and facial expressions can transform how you interact with others. This introductory course provides a foundational lookup into the psychology of body language, helping you recognize emotional states, build rapport, and spot hidden motives in everyday conversations. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental principles of non-verbal communication and basic human psychology. - Identify common hand, arm, and leg gestures and what they reveal about a person's attitude. - Recognize micro-expressions and facial cues that signal comfort, discomfort, or deception. - Apply body language insights to improve professional interactions and modern remote collaboration. - Practice active listening techniques paired with non-verbal observation to build deep rapport. You will start by exploring core psychological concepts and foundational definitions of non-verbal study. From there, you will progress through written scenarios and practical analysis of specific gesture clusters, learning how to read behaviors in context rather than isolated movements.
