John Taylor kept a group of West Jordan business owners highly engaged as he demonstrated and explained the advantages of professional body language in business. The presentation included the understanding and practice of necessary skills like body posture, hand movement, eye contact and more.
“I thought it was great! I think it’s good to be aware of your body language and how much of our communication is not just our words,” comments Aisza Wilde, president of the West Jordan Chamber of Commerce. “This workshop was a real eye-opener. I believe all the information John shared was valuable. I know I’ll be paying closer attention when speaking to and listening to others.”
According to Wikipedia, body language is a common term for “kinesics”. Kinesics is the interpretation of body motion communication such as facial expressions and gestures, or nonverbal behavior related to movement of any part of the body. The popular culture term, “body language”, was coined by Ray Birdwhistell, who was considered the founder of this area of study.
The study of body language in professional scenarios is well-documented and is a major component focus for political leaders and business owners worldwide.
“My passion is helping business owners better understand how they can improve their their impressionswith their current and prospective clients,” says Taylor. “The study of body language has been a fun and informative course of study for me personally, and I love sharing what I have learned with others.”
