BESIG: Mirroring - recipe for empathy or aggression?

Brief summary of the SIG event

Join IATEFL Business English SIG for this webinar with Ishita Ray.

Equipped with mirror neurons, our brains are naturally designed to be empathetic. On the flip side, when facing hostile situations, they can also mirror the aggression. Despite best intentions, mirroring can be received differently by our communication partners. How, then, can we optimise mirroring to make communication effective and inclusive? This webinar will explore contexts and situations where mirroring can either be the best friend or the worst enemy in communication.
