Growing in Line with
Your Values
One of the things that comes up time and time again when we’re speaking to leaders is the importance of WHY they want to hit particular goals.
Growth without direction is fruitless. With conflicting priorities and time pressures it is easy to become too busy bailing out the ship to notice which direction its heading in!
Explore the power of growing in line with your values.

We all know that body language is a powerful means of communication. It helps us in almost all areas of our work: From building relationships, delivering presentations, providing feedback, and leading and inspiring others.
In this session, we explored the latest, scientific research in body language (with some myth-busting too), so you can learn and adapt effectively to enhance your nonverbal communication.
