Yet few profiles are trained to decode it or use it. This non-verbal communication course gives you the keys in one intensive half day.<\/p>\n This course details the fundamentals of kinesics, the science of body language. You learn to identify open and closed postures, barrier gestures, facial micro-expressions that reveal a real emotion.<\/p>\n The training covers common professional situations: work meetings, negotiations, job interviews, oral presentations, commercial exchanges. For each context, concrete reading grids.<\/p>\n Beyond decoding, you learn to consciously use your own body language to reinforce your messages: straight posture, direct gaze, open gestures. These reflexes durably transform your professional presence.<\/p>\n When someone says yes but their body says no, the non-verbal signals tell the truth. This course teaches you to spot these inconsistencies to dig into real objections.<\/p>\n Designed for managers, sales staff, recruiters, negotiators, trainers and all profiles whose work depends on the quality of interpersonal relationships.<\/p>\n At ITTA, in our Carouge and Le Flon premises, this course runs as an intensive half day with an expert instructor. Role plays and decoding exercises pace the session.<\/p>\n What is kinesics?<\/strong><\/p>\n Kinesics is the science of body language. It studies postures, gestures, facial expressions and their meaning in communication.<\/p>\n Do I need psychology basics to follow this course?<\/strong><\/p>\n No, the training is accessible to all. No psychological or theoretical prerequisites needed.<\/p>\n Does this training cover micro-expressions?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, facial micro-expressions and their reading are on the program.<\/p>\n What is the professional benefit of this training?<\/strong><\/p>\n Better conduct interviews, meetings and negotiations by reading the real signals from your interlocutors.<\/p>\n Is this training held in Geneva?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, at the ITTA center in Carouge in Geneva, at Le Flon in Lausanne and in a virtual classroom.<\/p>\n How long to integrate these reflexes?<\/strong><\/p>\n The basics are acquired in a half day. Lasting integration comes with conscious observation in the following weeks.<\/p>\n How to go further after this training?<\/strong><\/p>\n The Master Your Voice course for the oral dimension, or management trainings to better lead a team.<\/p>\n Managers, sales, HR, trainers, healthcare professionals, representation functions and any profile whose posture weighs on relationship quality. In Geneva and Lausanne, the course welcomes participants from international organizations, banking, consulting and growing SMEs. No specific prerequisite is required other than a concrete willingness to progress on the subject.<\/p>\n You leave with an operational mastery of the fundamentals, reusable canvases on your concrete cases, a structured action plan for the weeks that follow. Many participants report a visible effect from the first week back, with sustainable anchoring over four to six weeks of regular practice. The course combines short theory inputs, practical exercises on your real situations and personalized trainer debrief.<\/p>\n A salesperson calibrating their body posture to gain credibility facing an expert buyer. An HR decoding the non-verbal signals of an anxious candidate and adjusting the interview. A manager adjusting their gestures to deliver a difficult message without confronting the team. The course adapts exercises to your context with personalized trainer feedback, and each participant leaves with an action plan calibrated to their own situation.<\/p>\n This training combines well with public speaking for oral situations, active listening for relational posture, and NLP for calibration tools. Many participants enroll in one of these courses in the following trimester, according to their current priority and professional context.<\/p>\n Research in social psychology (Mehrabian, Ekman, Goman) confirms the massive impact of non-verbal on interpersonal communication. Beyond the often-caricatured statistics, what is not said with words really weighs in the perception of the contact. This training relies on research to propose a rigorous approach, applicable in meetings as well as video, without falling into approximate decoding.<\/p>\n At ITTA centers in Geneva and Lausanne, this course runs in a small group with an expert trainer and a format alternating concise theory, practical exercises and personalized debrief. Group confidentiality is explicit and held. Each participant arrives with a real case and leaves with an action plan calibrated to their context. The course integrates recent evolutions of the domain (digital tools, hybrid formats, 2025-2026 practices) without losing focus on fundamentals.<\/p>\n Does the course cover non-verbal communication in video?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, video specifics (camera framing, gaze, gestures adapted to screen, digital fatigue management) are integrated in a dedicated sequence.<\/p>\n Are exercises filmed?<\/strong><\/p>\n Optionally and with participant agreement. Video allows precise feedback on body language.<\/p>\n Does the course integrate cultural variations?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, cultural variations in non-verbal (proxemics, gestures, eye contact) are addressed, in coherence with the international Geneva and Lausanne context.<\/p>\n Where do sessions take place?<\/strong><\/p>\n ITTA has three centers in French speaking Switzerland: in Geneva (Carouge, Route des Jeunes 35), in Lausanne at the Flon (Rue des Cotes de Montbenon 16) and at Lausanne Mon-Repos (Avenue de Mon-repos 24).
