Body Language

Body language is a range of non-verbal gestures, expressions and posture that can speak volumes about our attitudes, behaviour and responses. The way someone stands, walks, uses their eyes or their hands can send out a loud and clear message about how they are feeling, whether this is intentional or otherwise.

Having a good basic knowledge of body language can help you to recognise the signals that others may be sending you, as well as ensuring that the messages that you are sending out to others are the ones that you want them to hear.

In this section, you'll find a range of tools and tips to help you to do just that, including a look at the positive and negative signals you may receive, along with some advice on how you can tell if someone is lying to you. You'll also find some helpful information on the importance of personal space, with a guide to how much we all need.
