Book Description
Become a Confident Guru of Public Speaking, Advance Your Career, and Improve Your Personal Life Using Your Body Language Do you have a colleague in the workplace who everybody listens to when he/she walks into a room? Or, perhaps, you have a friend that commands the attention and makes you feel invisible? Have you always struggled with public speaking and envied people that can capture the attention of the whole auditorium? If the answer to these questions is YES, the chance is you're projecting a wrong image of yourself by not using your body language properly. Nonverbal communication is undeniably a huge part of any communication process. It refers to body language or nonverbal signs your body sends to whomever you're speaking too. The good news is, nonverbal language is like any other language which means it can be taught. This book will transform the way you act and react with your body, improve your confidence and make you a master of public speaking. You've probably heard many times someone being described as charismatic. While some people truly are naturally charismatic, the idea that you have to be born with it couldn't be further from the truth. Charisma is a personality trait, and it can be mastered through different techniques and exercises that involve using body language, sending right signals with your movement, facial expressions and the tone of your voice. Controlling your body language is important. But how would you like to be able to recognize when someone is being deceitful or lying to you? This book will develop your skills to read another's body language, analyze the person standing in front of you and correctly guess their intentions. The book provides you with a step-by-step guide for beginners, on how to inconspicuously perform a body scan of someone you're talking to, interpret their body language and detect lies and /or hidden meanings. When you read this book you'll be able to: Use body language to improve your confidence and upgrade your personality Understand the science behind nonverbal communication Control your emotional and physical reactions Master your body's four main communicators Use different techniques to master your body's nonverbal signs Understand what message and signals you send with certain body movement Read another's nonverbal signs and interpret them Recognize common body language codes Recognize when someone's lying to you Incorporate body language practices in your daily routine Master different ways to attract and command attention Use your body language in public speaking events to capture the attention of everyone present Communicate your needs and desires in a clear way by using nonverbal codes Don't make a mistake believing that words you say are the only thing that matters to people around you. Humans are by nature visual beings, meaning we tend to judge on appearance, whether consciously or unconsciously. Speaking is a big part of a communication process, but not the only one. There are more ways than one to convey a message, and body language can help you strengthen and intensify the point you want to make.

Book Description
An instant Wall Street Journal Bestseller The definitive guide to communicating and connecting in a hybrid world. Email replies that show up a week later. Video chats full of “oops sorry no you go” and “can you hear me?!” Ambiguous text-messages. Weird punctuation you can’t make heads or tails of. Is it any wonder communication takes us so much time and effort to figure out? How did we lose our innate capacity to understand each other? Humans rely on body language to connect and build trust, but with most of our communication happening from behind a screen, traditional body language signals are no longer visible -- or are they? In Digital Body Language, Erica Dhawan, a go-to thought leader on collaboration and a passionate communication junkie, combines cutting edge research with engaging storytelling to decode the new signals and cues that have replaced traditional body language across genders, generations, and culture. In real life, we lean in, uncross our arms, smile, nod and make eye contact to show we listen and care. Online, reading carefully is the new listening. Writing clearly is the new empathy. And a phone or video call is worth a thousand emails. Digital Body Language will turn your daily misunderstandings into a set of collectively understood laws that foster connection, no matter the distance. Dhawan investigates a wide array of exchanges—from large conferences and video meetings to daily emails, texts, IMs, and conference calls—and offers insights and solutions to build trust and clarity to anyone in our ever changing world.

Book Description
Now You’re Talking! Do you want to be bulletproof at work, secure in your relationship, and content in your own skin? If so, it’s more important than ever to be aware of what your body is saying to the outside world. Unfortunately, most of what you’ve heard from other body language experts is wrong, and, as a result, your actions may be hurting, not helping, you. With sass and a keen eye, media favorite Janine Driver teaches you the skills she used every day to stay alive during her fifteen years as a body-language expert at the ATF. Janine’s 7-day plan and her 7-second solutions teach you dozens of body language fixes to turn any interpersonal situation to your advantage. She reveals methods here that other experts refuse to share with the public, and she debunks major myths other experts swear are fact: Giving more eye contact is key when you’re trying to impress someone. Not necessarily true. It’s actually more important where you point your belly button. This small body shift communicates true interest more powerfully than constant eye contact. The “steeple” hand gesture will give you the upper hand during negotiations and business meetings. Wrong. Driver has seen this overbearing gesture backfire more often than not. Instead, she suggests two new steeples that give you power without making you seem overly aggressive: the Basketball Steeple and the A-OK Two-Fingered Steeple. Happy people command power and attention by smiling just before they meet new people. Studies have shown that people who do this are viewed as Beta Leaders. Alpha leaders smile once they shake your hand and hear your name. At a time when every advantage counts—and first impressions matter more than ever—this is the book to help you really get your message across.
