What You Learned

Bill Acheson nonverbal communication speaker Bill geared his presentation to our group 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). And he kept us laughing the entire time while we learned.

 

Here are some specific topics Bill adressed during the 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 what you missed from some of the videos from Bill's Web site below:
