yeh. As i said the main thing I took away was a heightened awareness of these little "tics" people employ naturally.
It also means I actively remember to smile widely now.
Eye contact is a big thing in the book: I usually maintain strong eye contact anyway but this has encouraged me to push that further - with mixed results. I've found that it works better socially than it does at work :)
Im also actively trying to use more positive language when chatting to people. That's hard to do but it seems to be effective as well. i did a lot of work on my language and body language a few years ago because I was having trouble interacting with people so possibly Im not seeing as many benefits as someone who hasn't ever needed to look at this stuff before. i think for that type of person it will be the most benefit - even if it is just a couple of tips to use when chatting up clients.
As I said it is sort of simple stuff: the value, I feel, is in how it is broken down and discusses the "why".
