The ability to understand body language is a powerful skill that will help you interpret what people are saying unconsciously. Known as "non-verbal communication", body language represents 55% of person-to-person communications, so learning how to use it and read it will give you a real advantage in improving your ability to communicate with others both in the workplace and at home.

The PD Training 3-Hour Body Language course teaches you how to recognise the body language of others, while also helping you become more aware of what your own body is communicating. You’ll learn how to read facial expressions, hand gestures, body posturing, voice variations and unconscious movements. You'll also be exposed to the differences in genders and how to use body language to your advantage.


This is a practical class that is suitable for all audiences, and provides participants with tools they can apply on-the-job (and in other contexts) the very next day.


There are no prerequisites for this course.


In this course participants will:

  • Understand the range of nonverbal behaviours that comprise ‘body language’
  • Understand the nuances of handshakes and touch
  • Understand how your personal style influences your body language
  • Match body language to words
  • Know how to read facial expressions
  • Interpret common gestures
  • Interpret eye contact
  • Understand power poses


The ability to interpret body language is a skill that will enhance anyone’s career. Body language is a powerful, subconscious form of communication, and just like any other form of communication, it can be improved with practice. Whether in sales or management, it is essential to understand the body language of others and to know exactly what your own body is communicating.

This intriguing professional development training course will teach you the secrets of how to identify what people are really thinking and feeling as expressed by their body posturing, hand gestures and facial expressions. There are also cultural differences to take into consideration as some cultures have very vivid and wild gesturing while others are very somber and reserve. There are also gender-related body language patterns that require consideration too.
