6 Personal Development Courses Body Language How others perceive you via your non-verbal communication. This course looks at how your body language displays what you are truly feeling and how to be aware of what signals you are demonstrating. You will be trained on what is effective and how a change in how you use your body can help you to get the best out of your situation.

This course will provide you with the knowledge required to develop your awareness of emotional intelligence and in doing so, help you to perform more effectively. 4

8 Mindfulness - Managing Change and Stress It can be easy to rush through life without stopping to notice much.

Mindfulness can help us enjoy life more and understand ourselves better. You can take steps to develop it in your own life. This course looks at coping methods to handle difficult and emotional changes both at home and at work. The course also focuses on the causes of stress, how to stay strong and relaxation techniques. 5
