Make Body Language Your Superpower

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

This is a really good video that talks about using body language and gestures as a speaker. I have to admit, when I’m training I do have a tendency to put my hands in my pockets and look relaxed. Maybe that’s not the best idea! lol

Making Body Language Your Superpower – an instructional video on using body language effectively. Presented by Stanford graduate students Matt Levy, Colin Bailie, Jeong Joon Ha, and Jennifer Rosenfeld. Created as an exemplary final project in Lecturer JD Schramm’s Strategic Communication course in March 2014. Body language – both the speaker’s and the audience’s – is a powerful form of communication that is difficult to master, especially if the speaker is nervous. This video will teach you how to use your body language effectively, even if you are nervous. This video will also show you how to read the audience’s body language and what you should do when they look bored or disconnected from the presentation. Use these tools to enhance your nonverbal communication abilities and better connect with your audiences.

    Yeah I know, not exactly a shocking observation. We’ve all been through horrific interviewing processes, and even the Wall Street Journal is writing about people who got into a job only to realize it wasn’t what they were promised. Clearly, we have a problem. The question is, why? There are multiple answers to that question,…

  • Why Training Matters for Diversity

    Wouldn’t it be a better choice to locate candidates with some of the skills you’re going to need in a position and know that you have an environment that will help them grow and learn to become exactly what you need to be? Wouldn’t that practice become a way to attract really smart people who want to grow and learn by coming to work for you? Doesn’t that sound like a better option than simply leaving your open jobs unfilled and lamenting the fact that no one wants to work anymore? Unfortunately, there are too many organizations that simply won’t consider this. They aren’t interested in growing the people who work for them, they only want to hire people who can come in with no effort on the organization’s part and do the work starting on day one.

    I think they are short-sighted.

    Today was a very good day. I had two training sessions scheduled, back to back, covering two very different topics. One was supposed to be a class, but turned into one attendee, on working with transcripts in Summation. The second one was a scheduled one-on-one training session on using an RSS reader. In both sessions…
