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.
