Did you know that 93% of your first impression is determined by your body language and tone of voice? Even before you say anything, posture and facial expressions form judgments. Yet 95% of people unconsciously send conflicting signals.
In this inspiring keynote, Eddy Vandeweyer of Bluegg-with more than 50 years of experience in management, sales and hospitality-shows how to avoid this. As a certified expert in body language, he combines knowledge with energy and practice.
You will learn how to make a powerful first impression, read signals better and increase your impact. The result: more persuasion, higher emotional intelligence and communication that really comes through.

"When your body speaks, you better keep your mouth shut" is the title of this keynote.
Did you know that 93% of the first impression people get of you is determined by your body language and
use of voice? Even before your substantive message is heard, your posture, facial expressions and appearance have already formed a judgment on the other person. When you communicate congruently, when words, voice and body language are in balance, you are more likely to be trusted, believed and liked.
However, when you unconsciously send conflicting signals, it can have a major impact on how
others perceive you. In fact, research shows that 95% of people every day use their body language to communicate something
something else than they actually mean.
A recognizable example : You tell someone that you think something is a good idea ... but while saying that ,
you unconsciously shake your head slightly "no". You yourself don't notice it's an automatic habit.
But the person across from you might intuitively sense that something is wrong. The trust in your
message is disappearing.
So the question is: why risk being misunderstood if you can avoid it?
When you understand how body language works, you can communicate more consciously and let your charisma
match the message you want to convey. This increases your impact in conversations, presentations and
meetings.

The impact of body language
Imagine how much impact a conversation, pitch or presentation can have when you are fully aware of your nonverbal communication. By understanding body language, you can:
- avoid pitfalls
- convince more powerfully
- respond better to the reactions of others
- land your message the way you intended.

In addition, knowledge of body language also increases your Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Research shows that
consciously working with nonverbal communication can increase your EQ by 3 to even 20%.
That means:
- better reading people
- respond better to emotions
- and stronger communication in any professional situation.

The power of the first impression
First impressions are often created within seconds - even before a full conversation has
occurred. In this interactive keynote, participants will discover how to consciously manage and enhance that first impression.

What does this keynote deliver?
During this inspiring and interactive keynote, participants will discover, among other things:
- How to make a Phenomenal First Impression
- Which posture and distance work best in conversations
- How you can tell from body language whether someone is interested, uncertain, tense or enthusiastic
- Which behaviors you should absolutely avoid during conversations, presentations
- How to be accepted as a conversation partner before you even say a word
- How to use hand gestures effectively to strengthen your message
- What body posture makes you appear confident, relaxed and credible

The keynote is practical, interactive and directly applicable. Whenever possible, we work with situations that participants provide themselves, so that the insights are immediately applicable to daily practice.
