Body Language Training

The ability to understand body language is a powerful skill that will help you interpret what people are saying unconsciously. Known as "non-verbal communication", body language represents 55% of person-to-person communications, so learning how to use it and read it will give you a real advantage in improving your ability to communicate with others both in the workplace and at home. 

The PD Training 1-day Body Language course teaches you how to recognise the body language of others, while also helping you become more aware of what your own body is communicating. You’ll learn how to read facial expressions, hand gestures, body posturing, voice variations and unconscious movements.  You'll also be exposed to the differences in genders and how to use body language to your advantage.

Our fascinating Body Language training courses are available now throughout Australia, including Brisbane, Sydney,, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.

The ability to interpret body language is a skill that will enhance anyone’s career. Body language is a powerful, subconscious form of communication, and just like any other form of communication, it can be improved with practice. Whether in sales or management, it is essential to understand the body language of others and to know exactly what your own body is communicating.

This intriguing professional development training course will teach you the secrets of how to identify what people are really thinking and feeling as expressed by their body posturing, hand gestures and facial expressions. There are also cultural differences to take into consideration as some cultures have very vivid and wild gesturing while others are very sombre and reserved. There are also gender-related body language patterns that require consideration too.

In-House Training - We’ll focus on what matters most to you and tailor to your context


Face-to-Face, Live Online, or Hybrid Class Tailored to Your Needs

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.

We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.

Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.

live online & hybrid

We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.

You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.

A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
