Did you know most of what we communicate is unspoken?

Non-verbal cues shape how leaders are perceived and how teams respond. This training builds the skills to read and use body language intentionally, strengthening trust, presence and performance.

Why Non-Verbal Leadership Matters

When leaders understand body language, they can:

  • Create environments where people feel respected and genuinely heard
  • Spot unspoken concerns early and address them constructively
  • Build trust faster and more consistently
  • Lead with confidence, even in tough conversations

By strengthening these non-verbal skills, organisations see improvements right across the workforce, from reduced conflict to enhanced creativity and retention.

What you’ll learn

Our training doesn’t just explain theory, it builds capability.

Understanding Non-Verbal Signals

Learn how subtle physical cues reveal emotions and intentions. This gives leaders early insight into how their team feels, before a word is even spoken.​

Empathic Response Techniques

Spotting discomfort or stress is only half the skill; responding with empathy creates psychological safety and opens better communication channels.

Using Your Presence Intentionally

Leadership is not just what you say, it’s how you show up. You’ll learn methods to project confidence, reliability and clarity in group settings.

What Leaders Say

Real feedback from real events

Easy to roll out, keeps the teams on the tools and makes everyone better. To use Bruce’s words – what’s not to love! Siemens – Operations Director What really helped was how little time this takes to roll out and how many people get it, simply as we can all see ourselves in the material! Siemens Gamesa – Operations Director His passion for positive, proactive human interaction is obvious. Bruce helps people interact better, understand each other with greater clarity, and comprehend and react to feelings in ways that will reduce unsafe behaviour. National Oilwell Varco - HSE Global Director The safety training that Bruce and the team have delivered has, without doubt, helped us improve our safety culture right across the business. They get our guys, and our guys get them. And that right there, is something to be grateful for. Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions - Operations Director Fun, energetic, engaging, challenging, but always done with a smile. In the 20 years I have been involved in safety, I have never come across a company who can create engagement like Bruce and the team, especially with frontline staff. Rio Tinto - UK HSE Director Safety can always be an evocative area. I found with Bruce’s leadership and unique energy, there is not that many people who can resist for that long. Even the people who can usually kick back find themselves getting involved and that is a testament to Bruce and the teams approach to engagement. Amec - Operations Director Bruce has been a blast over the past 3 days. I can vouch for everyone, by the feedback I have received saying how engaged they were during your presentation in today’s workshops! EDF Energy - HR Director Bruce is clearly an expert in the field of human behavioural science and is able to make a connection with the audience from the first minute with his unique, humorous and energetic style of presenting. JDR Cables - Operations Director I have seen Bruce Durham present many times, but never have I seen and felt his energy like we did in that room yesterday. Having had us in stitches, fear of embarrassment and tears - it was a rollercoaster ride! Thank you for caring as much about this event as we did! . Willmott Dixon - Groups Safety Director
