AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH
Shifting from Verbal to Nonverbal Communication allows one to :
-
disrupt old habits and create a new social environment
-
open up imagination and free the mental production of ideas
-
let people be more connected and develop empathy
-
let intuition replace preconceptions, anchored attitudes, stereotypes.
Our methodology is born from a savvy combination of
Body / Visual / Sign Languages.
BODY LANGUAGE
Body language is an amazing tool to perceive others’ emotions, state of mind and deep thoughts.
Body Language is mostly unconscious, it's really our body communicating our true state of mind.
Think for instance at the natural tendency everybody has to shrug their shoulders or wrinkle their nose.
Body Language can be very subtle and can say a lot of things about us: how we move our arms, how we walk, how we sit, how we stand can tell other people if we are insecure or powerful or impatient or shy.
VISUAL LANGUAGE
We all have a natural, innate talent to communicate in a visual way but we are not always aware of it. The champions of visual language are Italians who are able to have a whole conversation just using gestures.
We can all figure out a way to create objects, to describe people or even to express abstract concepts with our hands in a worldwide intelligible way.
Our approach prompts people to capitalize on this spontaneous ability to think visually aka to use their imagination to realize a virtual picture in their mind and to communicate it with gestures.
SIGN LANGUAGE
This is a full-fledged language, like English or French, but a silent one.
Sign Language is a highly creative language belonging to the Deaf Community, a 100% visual-spatial and nonverbal language, made of codified signs mostly inspired by real life situations.
The mastering of Sign Language requires several months of learning and practice, but in our methodology we introduce some easy signs, giving mnemonics to remember and use them in context.
