The definitive book on non-verbal communication. Make a good impression without relying on words.

Description

We have been taught to not judge others by their appearance, and that what matters most is on the “inside.” However, this is fairly difficult.

The reality is that we form an opinion based on body movement, posture, facial expression, and dress before words are even spoken.

This means you can utilize these non-verbal communication devices to make a great first impression.

This book will guide you through how to win people over by improving what is on the “outside.”

From the editor "Kanako"

Has anybody ever had the wrong impression of you?

Perhaps they assumed you were “scary,” or not as hardworking as you really are.

The way we see ourselves is often quite different from what others see. This may not matter in one’s private life, but in the business world, first impressions are formulated in seconds. The key to making a good first impression is non-verbal communication. Improve your business appearance today!
