Communication and Presentation Skills Training for Business from Mark Bowden Expert Trainer to Fortune 50 and G8 Leaders | TruthPlane
Trust allows a person to ask better questions, explore ideas more freely, and course correct without defensiveness.
Inspiring trust begins with trusting yourself, knowing your truths, trusting your own word, your own ethics and actions.
In this interview with Mark Bowden, author of Winning Body Language, subject matter expert, and idea transmitter at the Schulich Executive Education Centre, he demonstrates just how much body language accounts for the majority of information you hear.
Just as a good sales person takes charge of the “conversation” so a good comic has to boss their audience. You have to let them know you’re in charge. But clearly running on stage and shouting, “who’s the Daddy” is unlikely to endear you to your audience (and that’s doubly true in sales.)

Laura Zilke reports for Global News, taking a closer look with Mark Bowden at the Ontario leaders’ body language during the election debate and the impact it could have on the upcoming vote.
Recently, articles in the news have credited Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s excellent use of non-verbal communication as a main factor responsible for his majority win in the Federal Election, and point to Mark Bowden’s TruthPlane system. Mike Coates, CEO and President of Hill & Knowlton Canada blogs that Mr Harper in the TV debates leading up to the election
“…had very good use of non-verbal communication techniques, particularly with his hands. While the other leaders aggressively pointed their fingers and flailed away in many different directions, Harper reassured the audience by repeatedly using hand gestures over the most “vulnerable” part of a person’s body: his belly. This technique is called the ‘TruthPlane’.”
Similarly, Robert Cribb in the Toronto Star (picked up by Maclean’s Magazine and USA Today), highlights in Mr Harper’s debate performance
“the placement of Harper’s hands, cupped and open, directly at stomach height…(in the) “Truth Plane” — a visual expression that communicates the right mix of composed, competent resolve and level-headed credibility,”
and goes on to state
“It seems far more Canadians were suddenly able to see Harper’s previously elusive humanity and trustworthiness, a message delivered through gestures that warmed him to us.”
Mark’s TruthPlane techniques change the feelings in an audience quickly to help you convey your message more effectively. Here are a couple more quick and easy tips from Mark’s best selling body language book Winning Body Language that will help you present your best in every communication:
Be still and symmetrical
Stillness is more predictable to your audience. If you are relaxed and still, we feel more comfortable around you, and will often assign you a higher status.
- Stay animated and energized, yet keep your movement down to the minimum required to get your message across.
Symmetry is less complex to take in than asymmetry; again, it’s more predictable and so makes us feel more comfortable. Symmetry is felt to be more attractive generally, and is held as higher status by the audience.
- Gesture with both hands at the same horizontal height and stand with your weight evenly across both feet, with your body fully facing your audience.
