Course Description

True leadership is about understanding, engaging, and inspiring others. To achieve this, mastering non-verbal communication is a fundamental skill.

A significant element of communication lies not in what we say - but in how we act. For those attuned to it, the subtleties of body language reveal what others are truly thinking or feeling. At the same time, our own body language can project authority, build trust, and enhance our verbal messages.

Most non-verbal cues, such as posture, gestures, movements, and facial expressions, are unconscious, making them more truthful and revealing than words alone.

For leaders, managers, and anyone in a position of influence, understanding this nuanced form of communication is essential. It not only deepens your insight into others, but also ensures your own messages are clear, trustworthy, and impactful.

By the end of the course, you will be able to use your new skills to build trust, demonstrate authority and influence, uncover hidden concerns, ask appropriate questions, and become an even more highly effective leader or manager.

This course covers:

  • The importance of body language

  • Building self-awareness

  • Cultural differences

  • The role of posture

  • How eye contact works

  • Facial expressions

  • Gestures and body movements

  • How to align body language

  • Active listening

  • Transparency of intention

Along with suggested exercises and applications to gauge your own progress.

Very good course for remembering how important non-verbal cues are and body language in day to day situations. I also enjoyed the addition of the AI portion to remind us that it is a tool not a fix all.

By Seah Yong Yeh on 2/21/2026

Expected info - nothing particularly new but still useful and insightful nonetheless.

By Liam Mackenzie on 6/30/2025

Presenter hand gestures are excessive and distracting. Also content quite high level. Could be much shorter and focussed on practical tips.

By Karalina Strelchyk on 5/8/2025

Great course, summarizes well important aspects of non-verbal communication and contains practical examples and hints - always something new to learn.

By Elizabeth Mossman on 4/17/2025

Easy to listen to. He provides examples that are seen in everyday situations when working with people. As a leader, he has given me specific examples for me to be aware of when I am addressing individuals.

Course contents do not have material / graphics / any clips to demonstrate the ideas.

Most valuable! Delivered with clarity and conciseness, making all the concepts easy to understand. Each topic was covered thoroughly, leaving no room for confusion. Overall, it was an enlightening experience that significantly enhanced my understanding in the field, so I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge.

What an amazing course, probably one of the best non-technical courses I've taken to date. Andy is engaging and easy to understand/relate to. I've picked up so many tips from this course. As such, I will not be archiving this course, but instead will keep it around for reference and re-watch it occasionally. A+++!

By Cynthia L Catone on 12/21/2024
