Body Language (Public Speaking)

When I taught a class on body language, one of my exercises was to watch a video with the sound off, record your observations, then turn the sound on to determine if they match.

The analysis is an interesting mix of observation and interpretation that can open your minds to conscious awareness of body language and how it influences your reactions.
