Develop self-awareness * Understand the nonverbals of leadership * Optimize strengths of your team

Optimize your influence and persuasion skills by learning nonverbal communication techniques to quickly establish rapport and bring out the best in others. This webinar will feature Sharon Sayler and be moderated by David Sanchez, chair of the Yale Latino Alumni Network.

You’ll learn how to:

• Build trust without saying a word
• Express your point while inviting engaging, collaborative relationships
• Use proven gesture, posture and vocal techniques to enhance your confidence, charisma, influence and credibility

Yale alumni are among the most remarkable people in the world! Join fellow alumni and friends to support each other and learn from each other during this time of physical and social distancing. In small groups we’ll discuss how the current situation is affecting you and how you are doing personally and/or professionally. We’ll identify what you and others are doing to survive and thrive that could be helpful to other alumni and friends. 

Alumni, parents, students at home, and friends of Yale are all welcome!
