Body Language Expert - Carol Kinsey Goman

In her new book "The Nonverbal Advantage", widely recognized author and nationally recognized speaker Carol Kinsey Goman offers readers some easy tips and insights on how to use and understand body language as a key to accelerating business success. Within the first seven seconds of meeting you, a prospective customer or co-worker forms strong - and often subconscious - opinions about you that will shape that relationship for months and even years to come.

The way you use your hands and arms, the degree to which you tilt your forehead and chin, and even the slightest movement of your eyebrows all signal different meanings with respect to trust, compassion, interest, empathy and much more. Carol Kinsey Goman's book powerfully captures all of these nuances. It is no exaggeration to say that after reading this book -- and putting Carol's exercises into practice - human interaction in the workplace will never again be "business as usual."

Even those who conduct most of their meetings via "video-conferencing" are certain to benefit from this easy-to-digest and insightful new book.

John Chambers, Chairman and CEO of Cisco, says that "The Nonverbal Advantage" captures "an important aspect of what will define the next decade of productivity and innovation."

Carol, I really liked this video for a couple of reasons. 1) as others have commented, there are a few tidbits of good information. 2) Your "voice" (tone, tempo, pace etc.) is very good, and ideally suited to podcasting if you're ever interested. 3) Potential. You mentioned that the use of eyebrows is common across all cultures. As North American workplaces become an even more varied landscape of diverse cultures, religious beliefs, perspectives, we need MORE tips / cues on how to bridge them.

The video is engaging and certainly a "must read". Body language is very important to me as an Recruiting Director and business owner. I look forward to reading every page of the Non Verbal Advantage.

CRITIQUING MY OWN PERFORMANCE. As a body language coach, here's the advice I'd give myself: 1. Stop the finger pointing (something I swear I NEVER do from the stage). 2. Smile more. (I felt "friendlier" than I looked - and in BL, it's not what the sender means, it's what the viewer perceives that counts.) 3. Make this correction on the "eyebrow flash": The Japanese don't use it. (In that single culture, the gesture is considered to be impolite.)

I had not thought of using body language proactively to positively influence others, until now. I can't wait to read the book, and to also start flashing my eyebrows more when meeting new prospective clients.

This is not only a wonderful book. But knowing Carol in real life, I can vouch that she lives what she teaches. She's a great communicator. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in being a better communicator, in the workplace and in all other parts of life. And that you get yourself on Carol's email list to receive her interesting & thought-provoking articles on various aspects of workplace issues including change management.
