BUS3204 - Non-Verbal Communication: The Power of Body Language
Course Description
Non-verbal communication from body language to vocal tone can have a powerful impact in our daily lives. Body language can speak louder than words we use. Facial expressions, posture and our vocal tone can help to emphasize our thoughts and feelings. Cultural differences play a role in the perception and interpretation of non-verbal communication. In addition, learn about how our use of space and time can create favorable or unfavorable impressions for others.Learner Outcomes
