EPISODE 9 (50) NON-VERBAL - Watch peoples’ body language for essential insights.

In the opening scenario, we learn how Mike applies for a new job and thinks he's done well in the interview. <br/><br/>But to his horror, he receives a rejection letter and can't discover what went wrong. Later in a chance meeting with an old school friend who now works at the firm that rejected Mike, he learns what happened. <br/><br/>It seems that somehow his body language upset the head of the division who was on the interview panel. <br/><br/>Andrew then presents the three main questions that people at work seem to have about body language:“How can body language affect my work and “career prospects?”  “What are the most important things I should know about body language?” “How can I improve my body language at work?”Andrew explains that non-verbal communication is thought to achieve between 65 to 93 per cent greater impact than spoken words.<br/><br/>If you're wondering how your nonverbal behaviour can affect your career, Andrew lists six ways in which this can happen, including having a poker face behind which you hide your feelings. Or looking bored at work is a common failing of newcomers.<br/><br/>Finally, Andrew suggests three simple actions you can take immediately to improve your non-verbal signals. His final Takeaway is:<br/><br/>Take the nonverbal seriously. It will help you respond more appropriately to people and will increase your chances of success at work. Can't wait for Series 2 to run its course?
