Crack the Code: Mastering Body Language for Professional Success
Master Class/ Workshop
Join IE University on December 3rd for the IE Masterclass in Amsterdam: Crack the Code: Mastering Body Language for Professional Success.
Did you know that 95% of your behavior happens subconsciously? Our brains are wired to create routines from our actions, thoughts, and emotions, which often influence how we come across others, especially in professional settings. To grow personally and make positive first impressions, it’s essential to recognize these often-hidden patterns and behaviors.
In this interactive masterclass, you’ll gain key insights into nonverbal communication and learn how to enhance your professional presence. Through hands-on activities and expert guidance, we’ll explore:
- How your body language communicates more than words ever could
- Practical techniques to read others’ body language accurately
- The role your brain plays in shaping behavior and reactions
By the end of this session, you'll leave with tools to increase self-awareness, build authentic connections, and present yourself with confidence in any professional environment.
