8. Nonverbal presuppositions

What beliefs or attitudes are presupposed in the trainer's nonverbal behavior; and are they the ones you want? Does the trainer talk about the importance of flexibility, but respond rigidly? Does he communicate that he wants you to learn, or that he just wants to razzle-dazzle you? Does the trainer treat you as a peer who can learn the same skills the trainer has, or does the trainer act like a superior “guru” whom you can admire but can't hope to emulate? A good trainer will presuppose that anyone can learn—it's a matter of finding a way for each person to learn most easily.
