The new rules of body language

(light piano music) - When it comes to the workplace, old school rules often prioritize. Do we mean appropriate or right thing, or we're staying authentic? But what if I told you that authenticity and body language is the key to connecting faster and better with anyone? A 2014 study done by Dutch researchers found that "Individuals who perceive themselves as more authentic reported higher levels of work engagement and job satisfaction." Hi, I'm Erica Dhawan. I'm an author, trainer, and expert on 21st century nonverbal communication. I created this course with women in mind. But this is also a learning opportunity for anyone who wants to learn how to project authentic body language. In this course, I'm going to teach you body language skills related to authenticity so that you can understand inauthentic versus authentic styles, master executive presence, use your voice to connect, and use body language to lead with empathy. This isn't your typical body language course. You won't be hearing a lot of "Stand like this" or "Do this with your hands" from me. Instead, I'm going to help you identify your natural body language and how to connect it with with true version of you that you want to share with the world.
