Course Description
Have you ever wanted to instantly connect with your colleagues, clients, or friends? Do you want to increase your chances of success in an interview, board meeting, or negotiation? Do you aspire to be a leader who can connect with and influence others around you?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a model for studying human behaviour and communication. NLP helps you to understand how people take in, store and process information, giving you a deeper and advanced understanding of human psychology and behaviour.
Drawing from over 30 years of experience, Professor Joel Lee will share with you frameworks and techniques from NLP to observe others and connect instantly. This course provides bite-sized and accessible lessons packed with rich insights to enable you to build rapport easily and effectively.
You will learn how body language and voice tone fit into the larger communication package. You will develop skills that will assist you in making fine observations about others and to instantly connect with them using your voice and body language. You will be able to apply these techniques immediately to improve the way you build relationships, be it in your business, organisation, or personal life.
We look forward to you joining us in this course, and taking one step closer to solving the People Puzzle!
