Any relationship - personal or professional - depends on gaining the trust of the other person. Body language will determine within 10-30 seconds if someone likes and trusts you. Learn to read body language with certified business coach Rita Witherly on Wednesday, April 22^nd, from 9:30 am – 12:00 pm, at the Parsippany-Troy Hills Public Library.

Well-crafted verbal messages designed to demonstrate what you know can be enhanced – or discounted – by your body language. Additionally, your body language continues to communicate even when you stop talking. Everybody reads body language, but generally they put it down to ‘gut feel’ as it takes place mostly at a subconscious level. By becoming more aware of your own body language and that of others it will allow you to communicate more effectively and ensure you send your desired message.
