Focus: The Lost Art (Non-Verbal Communication)

Chad J. Willett brings one of the most important lessons he learned while training in LA as a professional actor for 7 years- Mastering the art of non-verbal communication.  While most people focus on the 15% of communication that is spoken, over 85% happens off-script—through facial expressions, body language, tone, and energy.

“Film Sets & Stages- Lessons" is an immersive experience that teaches leaders to stop listening only to the dialogue and start reading your clients, customers, and co-workers non-verbal cues which include:

• Facial Expressions – The close-up that reveals true emotion

• Body Language – The blocking that signals openness, resistance, or neutrality

• Tone of Voice – The delivery that changes the meaning of every line

• Energy Levels – The intensity that fills the room, not the volume

Outcomes:
By mastering non-verbal communication, leaders reduce conflict, strengthen connection, and elevate PERFORMANCE.
