This document outlines a presentation on body language given by Fawzia Essa. It is divided into 5 lessons: 1) The language of the mind and body, 2) Looking, 3) Listening, 4) Limbs, and 5) Lying. The presentation teaches that body language conveys attitudes, feelings, and emotions more so than words. Specific gestures and behaviors are examined, such as eye contact, facial expressions, hand movements, posture, and physical distance. Mastering body language can help people improve interpersonal skills like persuasion, job interviews, and dating.
