8:15 am - 9:30 am | Keynote - Body Talk: Nonverbal Communication and its Role in Becoming an Effective Internal Auditor Speaker: Jan Hargrave, Body Language Expert, Jan Hargrave & Associates It’s a scientific fact that a person’s body gestures give away his true intentions. Actually, over ninety percent of all face-to-face communication is nonverbal; thus, the silent messages of the body often reveal more than the spoken word in conveying true feelings and attitudes. Jan Hargrave, behavioral authority on nonverbal communication, and author of Let Me See Your Body Talk, Freeway of Love, Judge the Jury, Strictly Business Body Language, and Poker Face, helps internal auditors to improve their communication skills through learning how to: effectively make a positive first impression, persuasively communicate ideas in a professional manner, capably detect “micro-expressions” of deception, and other elements critical for internal audit success.
