I Want to hear your BODY talk

Body languages

are fascinating!

Handshakes and hugs are stalked

for weeks on the news!

are made based on

candidates faces

Online negotiations

can be highly successful

with the right use of

emoticons

Body language can have

a significant effect on

the way life runs

Audit yourself, note your body language

Hunching?

Biting fingers?

Crossing feet?

Not Confident

enough?
