Beyond Body Language: Listening with Your Eyes!
note: This is the second of three programs in Chicago Creative Coalition’s RE-Presenting Yourself series.
As creatives, you are often undervalued, underpaid and misunderstood. Over time, your nonverbal signals can either change to reflect less confidence, or sometimes overcompensate, and become harsh. It is imperative that you understand the nonverbal signals you send and receive.
In this program, you will learn how to achieve the best balance for your business success, and gain nonverbal skills for more confidence and command of the room when presenting your work to clients or the public. You will learn how to be more persistent, persuasive and collaborative through the nonverbal signals you use and from interpreting correctly the signals you receive.
