Join us for our Wisdom, Innovation, Networking (WIN) Luncheon at The Rushmore Hotel & Suites with spotlight speaker Jan McGrath, owner of Pilates Whole Body.
When Your Body Speaks First: How Small Shifts in Body Language Can Strengthen the Way You Communicate
You’re sending messages before you ever speak. Your posture, gestures, and tone quietly shape how others perceive you—and how confident your message feels.
In this practical workshop, Jan McGrath blends experience in global business, Pilates, and movement informed by neuroscience to show how subtle shifts in body language can help you feel more grounded and communicate more clearly. No big performance—just small, real-world adjustments that make a difference.
Whether you’re leading a meeting or joining a conversation, this session gives you a simple, supportive way to align how you show up with what you want to say.

More About Jan McGrath
Jan McGrath’s journey is fueled by a curiosity about people and the often comical language of body movement. With an MBA, she launched her career at the Walt Disney Company, quickly discovering that the most important messages are rarely spoken—a well-timed smile or knowing glance can do more than a meeting full of words.
As a Certified Pilates Instructor and owner of Pilates Whole Body, LLC, Jan found that real encouragement is often silent—a gentle nod or supportive glance helps clients feel truly seen.
