Increase sales and productivity and improve your job performance by learning to use the secret weapon that Oprah Winfrey and Steve Jobs have called the key to success. The art of reading people involves listening to intuition and gut feelings along with logic and common sense.

It’s vital to learn to read people whether it’s with your spouse, employees, boss, or if you’re managing a business. Then you can see beyond the obvious to reveal someone’s true motivations, signs of lying, and understand how to reach even difficult people. We’ll discuss practical techniques to do this and also identify what gets in the way of reading people such as expectations, mental chatter, and judgment. You’ll master how to quiet your mind and become neutral so you can clearly size up situations. You’ll also discover the importance of empathy and setting clear boundaries for healthier relationships.
In this lecture/workshop you’ll learn to:

• Read body language–eye contact, posture, body movements and more.
• Listen to your intuition–gut feelings, ah-ha moments, flashes of insight, intuitive empathy.
• Read emotional energy–understand what people are really feeling, not just how they appear.
• Intuitive visualization—a simple and easy intuitive technique to read people that everyone can learn.

Using these skills in business, with co-workers or with friends and family will improve the level of communication and understanding in your life.
