Agile Mind, Agile Body: The Power of Perception
In post-industrial western society we live in a culture dominated by symbolic language (words). But it wasn't always the case and a lot of how we communicate is lost or overlooked by ignoring the totality of our social interactions.
In this session you'll be introduced to some very basic concepts of how we are perceived by others through non-verbal communication and how we unconsciously project ourselves, and learn how to influence others.

Learning Outcome
- New insights on how you perceive others
- New insights on how others perceive you
