[NO RECORDING]
Our personal instinctual focus has a major impact on our daily choices; in the way we act, think, feel and ultimately express ourselves. It is also clearly demonstrated in our body language. And that in itself has a direct effect on the ways people see and relate to us. It is a well-known fact that 70-90% of communication is based on non-verbal clues, acted out by our bodily expressions.
This is truly the x-factor in coaching, therapy or any professional relationship where comfortable and trusting communication is of utmost importance.
If the dominant instinctual drives of the client and the professional are not in sync, that is more apt to deter a successful relationship than any other single factor.
During this highly useful presentation Marika will demonstrate how the three dominant instinctual behavioral patterns play out in our body language within all nine Enneagram styles: eye-contact, manner of speech, standing and walking styles, clothing, touching, etc. Most, if not all of this behavior is unconscious; yet all-pervasive.
The session is practical, fun, and most of all, truly eye-opening for all of us. It explains so much of misunderstandings, clients not returning, feeling uncomfortable with some people, etc. And this is an area of Enneagram study that deserves a closer look.
It is amazingly simple to build a bridge of trust and mutual understanding by being able to identify the other person’s preferred instinctual nonverbal communication style. This session will show how to do that!
