Nonverbals

  1. 5.1

    Beginner Nonverbals

    You cannot detect a shift in body language without first understanding the norm. You will cultivate sensory Awareness across the entire body (from feet to face), master the mechanics of confident first Impressions, and learn to establish baseline behaviors to spot tell-tale Anomalies.

  2. 5.2

    Intermediate Nonverbals

    You will learn to decode the physical manifestations of the three primary workplace emotions: distinguishing genuine Happiness (Duchenne markers) from professional politeness, spotting the subtle "turtling" signs of Sadness or low morale, and recognizing the early physical warnings of rising Anger.

  3. 5.3

    Advanced Nonverbals

    In high-pressure interactions, signals become guarded. You will learn to differentiate physical from emotional Discomfort, objectively evaluate cues often mistaken for Deception, and spot the micro-signals of Rejection in real time during a pitch so you can pivot before losing the room.
