NETWORKING AT BLADES

TOPIC: 

Body language refers to the nonverbal signals that we use to communicate, and these nonverbal signals make up a huge part of daily communication. From our facial expressions to our body movements, the things we don't say can still convey volumes of information that allow people to assess us within the first few minutes of the meeting.

Our body language can be a powerful attractant or deterrent when it comes to networking and building relationships with others. Join us for a fun, interactive event to start on your journey towards better understanding body language, connecting and communicating with others.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

Better understand body language and learn how body language impacts networking and building relationships with others
