First Impressions Matter: What Is Your Body Saying Behind Your Back?

Research states that people form impressions of others in the first 3 seconds of meeting them? Our bodies speak volumes, even when our mouths are closed. What messages are we sending? How do we make sure our body sends the message we want to send?

Somatic awareness is a way of understanding our body’s messages and learning at another level. It Is more than body language; it is how we show up to others – body, emotions, voice, and personality.

A hallmark of effective people is the ability to communicate and influence others. Trust is built when words and actions are aligned. Body language awareness helps to identify lack of alignment in words and actions and understand what is getting in the way. The person who makes a request with a quiet voice and eyes cast downward sends a message that he/she is not authoritative and may not even get a response to the request.

In this session, you will have an opportunity to learn how to make a great first impression, to increase your ability to be centered and calm, to be able to align what you say with how you say it, and to model leadership presence.
