By developing your awareness of the signs and signals of body language, you can more easily understand other people, and more effectively communicate and negotiate with them. There are sometimes subtle - and sometimes not so subtle - movements, gestures, facial expressions and even shifts in our whole bodies that indicate something is going on. The way we talk, walk, sit and stand all say something about us, and whatever is happening on the inside can be reflected on the outside. By becoming more aware of this body language and understanding what it might mean, you can learn to read people more easily. By increasing your understanding of others, you can also become more aware of the messages that you convey to them and become a more effective negotiator. 14 Hours CE Dates/Time: Aug. 31-Sept. 1, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Location: South office (2320 Cattlemen Rd.
