Your professional success is tightly linked to your use and knowledge of body language ¡V whether you know it or not. Leaders who know how to accurately de-code the silent signals of others, and who are able to use body language that is aligned with the messages they want to convey, gain a competitive advantage in business ¡V no matter what business they're in! Today's leaders must lead through influence rather than control. Influence relies on:

• The ability to understand another's perspective;
• Knowing how to read non-verbal messages;
• The ability to communicate authentically.

In today's virtual world, visual technology is changing the way we do business with employees, partners, and colleagues all over. Business professionals are now being viewed, as well as heard and read. Join Amanda, guest facilitator Pamela Ziemann, and the Epona Meadows herd to sharpen your non-verbal communication skills!
