How To Be A Better Leader And Presenter
Communication is so much more than words, said Linda Clemons, CEO of Indianapolis-based Sisterpreneur, who has been showing people how to succeed in sales and take advantage of nonverbal communications for over 40 years.
Clemons, a body language expert trained and certified in analytics interviewing and statement analysis, has a client list that list includes Southwest Airlines, the National Urban League, Nestle, MGM, Major League Baseball, Wells Fargo and the FBI.
