IE WORKSHOP: Master your body language for leadership succes
Did you know 95% of behavior is driven by subconscious patterns? These automatic habits shape how we think, act, and communicate, often unnoticed. For leaders, understanding these patterns—and how body language conveys authority, empathy, and confidence—can enhance effectiveness.
In this interactive session, we’ll explore:
• What your body language communicates as a leader
• How to interpret your team’s nonverbal cues
• Using the brain’s role in behavior to enhance leadership
Gain insights into nonverbal communication to boost self-awareness and unlock growth as a leader!

Septembar
In the first week of the new academic year, we are organizing our Open Air Summer Bar event in
collaboration with similar student organizations: AFC, AFD, AFT, Greenhill Capital, Capitant,
Emergent and BLASE. This event is designed to be a casual and engaging way for students to
meet and connect with different student associations in a relaxed, open-bar setting.
Each organization will have its own booth, offering students the chance to learn about the
mission, values, and activities of each group. They can chat with team members, ask questions,
and explore opportunities for involvement throughout the year. For instance, our association will
introduce students to key events like our Bootcamp, which takes place in the second semester.
To enhance the summer bar atmosphere, a DJ will be present throughout the event, providing
upbeat music and creating a lively, social environment. This helps ensure a fun and laid-back
setting where students can interact freely.
Our goal is to create an accessible and informal space where students can get to know us and
the other associations, while also expanding our reach to a larger audience through this
collaboration. By joining forces with multiple student organizations, we increase the visibility of
our events and position ourselves more prominently on campus.
As this is the first event of the year, it sets the stage for students to engage with future
activities, making it a vital opportunity for us to showcase what we offer.

A tea-time talk event, where participants got the chance to talk to our speakers in small groups via a rotation system.
What did our participants learn from this event?
“Deeper insights on the importance of a company culture.”
“The importance of how to work with people.”
“The importance of networking and the importance of finding a company that matches your culture.“
“The rotation system was a great way to learn from every speaker. It was a perfect way to break the ice and to lower the threshold. This way, everything and everyone was very accessible. It was also truly nice that there was a network part after it so we could ask more questions and gain more insights if necessary.” Lander - Business, Law and Economics
