Who it is for

For anyone who wants to read better what others convey without words, and align their own manner with what they say. The method works whatever your job: at a front desk, in a workshop, at a patient's bedside, behind a screen, on a building site or at the head of a team. The module follows the viewings of an estate agency whose buyers never call back, but the exercises and the exam put you in many other situations.
