Understand the full range of options in BLT Session #3: Channels of Nonverbal Communication!

Date: Tuesday, January 20

Time: @ 4 pm

Location: Rueckert Auditorium

Sharpen your professional presence with BLT — Body Language Training, part of the Siena Heights Seminar Series led by Siena alumnus Bill Acheson ’80.

Through six dynamic sessions, Bill brings decades of experience teaching at the University of Pittsburgh and consulting around the world to help you master the unspoken side of communication.

With BLT, you’ll learn how to project yourself more effectively and how to interpret others with far greater accuracy. You will no longer be limited by what people say, you’ll begin to understand what they’ve been trying to tell you.

From reading first impressions and projecting confidence to mastering presentation skills and shaping your future, BLT will change how you communicate — and how others respond.

Join us for one session or the full series and discover how body language can become your most powerful tool for success.

Save the Date: Saturday, January 31, 2026. Leah Crocetto ’07 and Michael Kirk Lane ’05 will return to Siena Heights University along with other SHU alumni to “rise and give our thanks to you, before we say goodbye.”
