6m
image
4
Psychology of your client
This is my favorite pick because it is so psychological. Each client and each audience is a world, and that is why we must understand how to address each one of them, otherwise they will not listen to us. We will use the DISC, a psychological tool that will help us personalize our communication according to the personality of our audience. You will see how that makes a difference in our communication.
13m

5m
image
12
Facial expression, gestures, posture, and appearance
In this lesson we will see the first four variables of non-verbal communication that we must take care of during our presentation: facial expression, what we do with our face, gestures, postures and appearance, that is, our personal image. Let's see how to use them.
20m

13
Haptic and proxemic
We continue to practice with our non-verbal communication. Now we will see haptics, which is the use of touch, and proxemics, the importance of distances and spaces.
9m

Paralanguage
Your voice reflects your mood and physical state. The intonation, the volume, the silences, the accent, the timbre or the inflection of the voice are characteristics that you have to handle properly when making a presentation in public if you want to connect with them.
5m
image
15
Chronic: the use of time
Time also communicates. Knowing at what time of the day our body is most awake to perform according to what activity is very important to be prepared to face and organize our daily tasks, and, among them, our presentations.

Final presentation and feedback
