Body Language and non-verbal Communication for Leaders

Body Language and Non-verbal Communication for Leaders: This course was developed to transform ordinary leaders into extraordinary ones through mastery of one of the most powerful - and at the same time, most overlooked - skills in modern leadership: non-verbal communication. Throughout the lessons, you will learn in depth how each gesture, facial expression, posture, tone of voice, and even silence directly impacts how others perceive your authority, the trust you transmit, and the emotional connection you create with your team. More than a theoretical course, this is a practical and strategic immersion in body language applied to leadership - designed for those who want to inspire, influence, communicate with clarity, and lead with presence.

Core foundations of non-verbal communicationThe course begins with a solid introduction to the 7-38-55 rule, developed by psychologist Albert Mehrabian, which shows that:Only 7% of effective communication comes from words38% from tone of voiceAnd 55% from body languageIn other words, the majority of your message as a leader goes beyond the verbal. Your posture, gestures, and the way you occupy space say more than any spoken content.
