How to Read Body Language
Series Summary
Body language is a curious thing. We humans move our bodies and send and receive signals we are often unaware of. This language of motion and posture is not universal, and in reality there are many body languages. In Latin America, for example, eye contact between men and women is more open and intense than it is for stiff-upper-lip British people. Historically, cultures have been judged and mistreated for differences that stem from body language, including the activities and behaviors of native Hawaiians that gained European scorn. Hopefully we live in a modern world where differences in acceptable levels of eye contact do not condemn a culture as licentious.
In this free video series, Dr. Michelle Roth unlocks the secrets of body language. You will learn how to look confident and relaxed in public, how to act dominant and assertive around those who use body language to bully others, how to see if someone is flirting and flirt back, and much more. Dr. Roth gives keen insights to how the eyes work, the importance of posture, how to read signals and send them more accurately, and other body language skills. You will learn how read insecure, bored, open, closed, and judgmental signals, and your body language skills will make you a successful party-goer.
