You don't have to say anything at shortlisted interviews and networking events.

Others pick up on your body language and subconsciously decide if you are approachable.

Your nonverbal communication says it all.

Humans are "people-watchers."

Research has long shown that we observe more than we listen.

Prospects and clients make snap decisions in under five seconds about whether to engage with you.

This underscores the importance of your nonverbal cues.

✅How do you move and behave?

✅What is your face "saying" about your confidence and mood?

✅Are your gestures (even if you're standing alone in a luncheon) inviting and welcoming?

Yes, architecture, engineering, and construction firms hire me to teach staff how to confidently and clearly speak and deliver presentations.

It's easy to get your words tangled. I get it. 👀

Still, impactful communicators reach beyond their words so they win pursuits.

They recognize that nonverbal skills are equally critical in this balance.

Using body language to enhance your presence and words is magic.

😍Make it easy for others to approach you and strike up a conversation.
