The Manchester WIBF hub welcomed the amazing Cindy Ferrara, from Impact Consulting Group, to talk to us about the impact of our body language and how to make a good first impression.
This was a highly interactive, fast paced and engaging workshop! Cindy has a way of really making you think about every move, gesture, facial expression you make, as well as what you say and how you say it!
In this workshop we learned how to use power poses to create instant confidence, be memorable for the right reason and use non-verbal expressions of power. We all undertook a head to toe analysis of our own body language and speech with revealing but informative results to take away and think about.
Cindy’s entertaining approach to highlighting the group’s gestural habits and spoken taglines highlighted her powerful observation skills; all facilitated in way that built fantastic rapport across the group. Key takeaways included the 6 essentials to making a good first impression; reviewing your:
1. Attitude
2. Posture
3. Smile
4. Eye Contact
5. Raising your eyebrows
6. Leaning in
Thanks to Cindy for leading a brilliant event. As one attendee said, “I would love to hire her for a week to follow me round and sort me out!”
