EPISODE 9 (50) NON VERBAL - watch peoples’ body language for essential insights

In this episode Andrew explains some of the secrets of non verbal communication.

He points out that this is a useful source of information since communication at work is vital to success at work.

The Non Verbal is important because people think and respond visually, we're built that way.

Andrew introduces a quotation from Helen Keller that famous blind and deaf woman who despite her disadvantages became a master of reading non verbal signs.

What does it take to understand these signals? Nothing more than being observant, self-aware and ready to show empathy.

Context is important for interpreting the Non Verbal says Andrew. Certain signals can be misinterpreted unless you are sensitive to the particular situation.

Andrew also shares some potent Non Verbal secrets used by ex President Clinton who was famous for his use of this approach.

There's no shortcut to understanding body language. But you are equipped with an inborn instinct to look out for it and use it to your advantage.

Quotation by Helen Keller read by Carol Leader.
