FACE YOUR POWER: How to Influence AND be Influenced through Expression!

Face Your Power
55% of communication is nonverbal. You show up to each encounter with at least 16 different possible emotions on your face. As the mind brings feelings to the surface, your ‘look’ delivers a message, intended or not. Add body gestures to the mix and things get more complicated.
People subconsciously make up their own narratives to explain other’s expressions and form decisions around these conclusions. Are they ‘seeing’ what you meant to ‘say’? A misinterpretation could be costly to your career, business transactions, employee interactions, and interpersonal connections. On the flip side, our outward expression impacts our internal mindset and how we approach people, problems, and the moment.
No matter your role, manager, executive, team lead, emerging professional, spouse, sibling, friend—Your ‘face’ could be holding you back. Let’s get it right!
This presentation leverages stories, reflection and an activity to help you understand your truisms (what’s lurking behind your expressions), the effect of non-verbal language on ‘trustworthiness’ (what you wish you knew yesterday), how to address other people’s expressions (and why you should), and…
BONUS: Learn a proven artful technique for ‘reshaping’ your face to stop negative self-talk from impeding your empathy, accountability, and influencing power.
