Carole Railton, behaviourist, author, specialist in personal
branding and body language expert, gave an interesting lecture on understanding
gender differences in the boardroom. We
gathered on a still cold-ish summer evening on board HQS Wellington, London’s
only floating Livery Hall, for a private dinner accompanied by business
presentations.

fox-trimmed jacket
Carole talked us into walking around a room with imaginary
crown on our heads, saying that improved posture make us all look more regal
and therefore more authoritative. `When we walk slowly with our heads held high
others will notice us` - she said. She also shared a tip on matching other
person`s breathing pattern during tough negotiations, and smiling often while
filming a video, in order to appear genuine.
The evening came to a close too quickly but I am glad I left
with her book `The Future of Body Language` as it has many more examples on how to enhance
communication skills, improve video presentation, as well as body language within
the workplace.
