About this e-learning material

This material begins with the basics of non-verbal communication and the link between how you hold your body and how you feel. You read about common habits, such as slouching, crossing your arms or avoiding eye contact, and reflect on what your own body language may be saying.

You then practise standing and walking with an open, relaxed posture, using natural gestures, making comfortable eye contact and paying attention to your facial expressions and personal space. Sections also look at reading other people's body language with care, adjusting to different settings and cultures, and short routines to try before an interview, presentation or meeting.

It suits anyone who wants to feel more at ease in how they carry themselves at work or in social settings. The focus is on comfort and authenticity rather than performing or copying a set of rules, and you can practise each level at your own pace.
