Public Body Language Skills Course Program

Introduction by Impact Factory on our style of working
Delegate Input
We ask the delegates what their experiences are in relation to non verbal communication and what they would like from the day.
Icebreaker: Body Parts....
A fun and lively look at look at what (literally) moves you and the impression it creates.
Two Truths and a Lie
A fun way for delegates to find out a little about each other whilst trying to read or control our body language signals.

How do you do?
A big handshake
From the wet fish to the presidential we take a look at what our handshake says about us and get to try a few different versions.
Do I know you?
We take a look at how we operate in different circumstances.
How do you want to be perceived?
How do others perceive you?
We will then take an in-depth look at what makes an impact and how people impact on one another. This will be followed by a breakdown of the components that go into making an impact, including all the elements that go into communication dynamics.
It's just the way I walk...
This exercise explores how the body language we exhibit can encourage people to unconsciously come to conclusions about us.
What did people notice about someone's body language in their preparation?
What story did the body language reveal?
It is impossible not to make assumptions. However, it is often the case that, according to how someone looks or behaves, people make things up about them (assumptions) and then act as though they are true. This exercise will look at some of the assumptions people make and the reasons behind them.
We will then have people work in pairs investigating the assumptions they have made about each other; how right or wrong they are. We look at ways to use assumptions to open a conversation, find common ground and clear up misunderstandings.
We will also hear from delegates about situations they may have where they used their assumptions successfully, and those where their assumptions got in the way of being effective.
