How do you normally feel when someone you are speaking seems disengaged? Do you come across as a strong-willed person? Are you a bit shy or submissive? Did you know that 55% of our communication is achieved non verbally?
There is an old saying: "stand tall and the world stands with you; slouch and you slump alone", and nothing can be truer when communicating confidence and openness. Body language and Etiquette is one of the biggest factors in visual communication and image consultant advices clients on appropriate body language based on roles and occasions. Psychologists believe non-verbal communications reveals more than the words we speak. Posture affects how people perceive you. Just as someone with good posture sends nonverbal signals of energy, confidence and health, a person with poor body posture appears uninterested, uncertain or lethargic--- which is not the impression that any of us want to project to our bosses, customers and colleagues. Correct etiquette in business and social situations goes a long way to create a powerful image. An image consultant takes the client through appropriate etiquette, be it dining, corporate meetings or any other. It takes strategy and consideration to ensure your audience is receiving your message effectively and accurately.
