Self-Help Relationships
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.
