Learn How to Read People:
Bill Acheson

Sponsored by: McKinley-Carter Wealth Services and Steele & Cook Insurance

 

Last year body language expert Bill Acheson spoke at what came to be OVConnect's largest and most well-received event of its existence. Through his generosity and the good grace of Zeus, Bill's agreed to come back down. We originally thought of naming the event "Son of Bill Acheson", but thought that might be confusing.

 

If you saw him last year, you won't want to miss this year's event. In fact, you're probably not reading this as you've already skipped to the bottom of the page to pay and are looking for the link to the evite to register.

 

Seriously, this guy's for real. He's spoken all over the world to Fortune 500 companies and even developed custom programs for sales teams for major global organizations. It's a huge deal for him to not just come down once, but come back a second time.

 

Check out some photos from last year's event: to see what you should expect this year:

What You Will Learn

Bill Acheson nonverbal communication speaker Bill will present even more information this year in two specific areas: Professional (e.g. reading the body movements of a prospective client) and Social (e.g. what it means when your date has her or his feet pointed towards you when speaking). Through his 'edutainment', you'll be laughing so hard you won't realize how much you learned until the evening ends.

 

To give you an idea of what you should expect, here are some specific topics Bill adressed during last year's presentation:

 

  • What a handshake tells you
  • How to identify deception from both competent and incompetent liars
  • The differences in peripheral vision between men and women
  • How can you demonstrate your own personal authority without saying a word
  • Understanding the basis of rapport building from listening behavior to conscious and subconscious nonverbal cues

 

We don't have any video from that night, but you can get an idea of Bill's presentation from some of the videos from Bill's Web site below:
