Ever had someone say “I’m fine” while looking like they just swallowed a lemon? That’s non-verbal communication at work. From side-eyes and slumped shoulders to firm handshakes and that tone, our bodies are talking—beyond the words.

In this kickoff episode of our brand-new communication series, we’re diving deep into:

• What non-verbal communication actually is (hint: it’s not just your face)
  
  
• The Big 5: body language, eye contact, tone of voice, personal space, and touch
  
  
• Common barriers that can scramble the message
  
  
• Why non-verbals are the ultimate power move in interviews, meetings, and even Zoom calls
  
  

We’re also chatting about how to level up your non-verbal game so you’re sending the right message..

So whether you’re a people leader, a team member, or just someone trying not to give off “I hate this meeting” vibes—this episode is for you.

Tune in and learn how to make your non-verbals work with you, not against you.

Correction: For Professional proximity or space, it's more like two feet distant, not one foot. 

Let’s get peopling!
