Cette présentation intéressera autant les équipes multidisciplinaires, interdisciplinaires que multiculturels.
How Body Language Affects The Communication Processnas_56
Body language plays an important role in communication by expressing one's emotions, feelings, and attitudes beyond words. It is an innate and learned system of nonverbal cues, including facial expressions, gestures, and body positions. While some signals like smiling are universal, others vary culturally. Being aware of inconsistencies between speech and body language can provide insight into what people are truly thinking or feeling in a situation. Regular practice observing body language can improve one's ability to perceive these nonverbal signals.
The document discusses the history and development of artificial intelligence over several decades. Early research focused on symbolic approaches using rules and logic but progress was slow. More recently, machine learning techniques such as deep learning have achieved significant successes in areas like computer vision and natural language processing by using neural networks trained on large datasets. However, fully human-level AI remains an ongoing challenge.
What you say is often far less important than how you say it. One of the harbingers of success is understanding how nonverbal cues such as body language, dress, and demeanor affect how you are perceived and understood. In this book Arif Anis, Psychologist, personal development coach and author of 'Follow Your Dream' demonstrates how to modify your subconscious statements to your greatest advantage and also read what other people are 'saying' nonverbally. These skills will increase your ability to accurately assess moods, decode behaviors, anticipate problems, avoid hidden pitfalls, influence negotiations, and understand the secret motivations of those around you.
The document discusses how social media and online resources can be used for recruiting candidates, including using tools like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to post jobs and engage passive candidates. It also emphasizes using employee referrals, alumni networks, and interns/contractors to source talent. The document advocates for developing an employment brand on online channels to attract the right candidates and give them insight into the company culture.
This document discusses how social media can help or hurt your job search and provides tips for using social networks strategically. It recommends completing all online profiles with consistent professional information, building a network by connecting with others, researching target companies, and customizing your LinkedIn profile to highlight relevant qualifications and experience. Employers may check social media to assess a candidate's communication skills, qualifications, and fit with company culture, so candidates should ensure their online presence reflects positively.
