Superior communication skills are key to success, and no one enlightens and empowers others with these skills more effectively than Mark Bowden. In this high-octane interactive keynote, Mark will teach you the body language techniques to make you stand out from the crowd, inspiring others while building trust and credibility.

Mark takes the audience on an exciting journey to understand how “It’s not often what you say – but how you say it that gets results!”

Bowden, renowned trainer to Fortune 500 CEOs and G8 political leaders, demonstrates how perceptions can be completely altered by a simple gesture or action. He trains the audience, just as he does his elite clients worldwide, in simple yet effective techniques to create the ideal communication in the most crucial situations – invaluable for life and business.

The most effective salespeople never appear to make any effort at all to win you over. They are natural, likeable, clear and consultative. They learn about your needs by asking intelligent questions and offer solutions that feel right.

In this compelling and interactive keynote, your salespeople will learn how – through the simplest use of body language – they can build strong and lasting relationships, win and hold onto trust, gain credibility, be more consultative and become a trusted advisor to their clients.

Mark brings to this talk his world class nonverbal skills and techniques that add impact, power and presence to sales communication, and teaches how to best implement them at every meeting and presentation.

With such fierce competition for time and attention today how will YOU ever stand out as a leader, win trust and gain credibility?

In this provocative and entertaining keynote, adapted from his extremely popular TEDx Toronto talk, Mark will help you understand how certain common nonverbal behaviors may be steering you away from building and strengthening relationships that could ultimately help you realize your greater potential.

Mark then gives you the tools to confidently convey a powerful executive leadership presence through world class communication skills that capitalize on instinctual processes of the brain; winning others over to you and your message.

He teaches how to use your body language to win trust, build your credibility, listen like a leader, and inspire action to ultimately communicate in a style that is transparent, courageous, compelling, persuasive, influential and conversational.

The most insidious barrier to a happy, productive workplace in any organization is dealing with EACH OTHER!

Communication guru Mark Bowden offers a practical way of understanding, appreciating and managing the behaviours and actions of others.

Mark brings the fastest and most effective way to understand why someone acts towards you the way they do; why you react the way you do; and most importantly, how to actively respond to achieve the best outcomes.

He explains how and why people make snap judgments about us and “default to the negative”, and how to best use your body language to stop this from happening. We look at why we are drawn to some people and repelled by others, and how to always get into the “friend” category in our daily interactions. The audience learns how to convert those who are “indifferent” to us, our services and our products, into our very best customers.

Gain new and fresh perspectives on how to deal with other people’s behaviors in order to: manage those around you at any level in an organization; turn any potential conflict into a positive outcome; bring teams together in a shared understanding; and learn the evolutionary behavioral theory and neuroscientific evidence for human behavior that underpins all of these key relationships.

Speaking in public, via the media or by directly presenting to prospective clients is a powerful way to build your business. It raises the profile of your company, generates new leads, and when executed with a confident presence and structure the content actually wins new business on the spot. Still, even experienced presenters fear failure and in turn may fail to capitalize upon the business opportunities presented to them. Wouldn’t it be useful to know how to instantly stand out, be heard and win the trust of potential new clients across any platform using highly persuasive and influential content structures, verbal and non-verbal language, in any situation? Could you benefit also from knowing the fastest and most effective way to write and give a presentation that makes a profitable impact and brings in new business every time you speak?

This dynamic practical training workshop will enable you to quickly look, sound and be at your most confident every time you speak; always stand out and be remembered as totally credible, highly influential and utterly trustworthy; and be successful at building business and profit by getting the results and benefits you need and for which you can confidently ask at every opportunity your message is delivered.
