We’re going to learn from the great brains and discover how to enhance our memory using simple techniques.

Did you know that more than half of our communication is silent?
Our bodies speak for us, so learning to interpret someone’s body language can help you see more of what they may not be “saying” and more of what they really mean, even small changes in facial expressions or gestures can make a difference to the message being sent. Developing a better understanding of body language is a fun way to empower yourself and help build a bridge to self-confidence.
