At The Narrative Body we believe that the body, rather than words, is the most influential factor in communication. Our mission is to give individuals the tools to uncover the power of body language and nonverbal tendencies. Our sessions begin with focus on the powerful nature of our bodies made visible through ones gestures, postures and movements and dynamic stillness. Through interactive discussions, group exercises and one to one coaching you will learn how to become a more effective and authentic non-verbal communicator. The Narrative Body curriculum was established based on the research conducted by founder Karla Beltchenko whose background in social science, dance performance, Laban Movement Analysis and nonverbal research has given The Narrative Body a truly unique perspective. What sets us apart from other professional development coaching and soft skills training is the focus on mind body connection. We look to the body as the primary vehicle for communication, uncovering fundamental nonverbal skills that are too often overlooked. We take the time to detail the power behind the anatomical understanding of ones body. Over time you will begin to notice a shift in the way you sit, stand and interact with others; this will permeate into your personal and professional lives allowing you to stand out from the crowd.
