| Summary |
This book teaches you how to interpret what people really mean by observing their posture, gestures, eye movements, and more, and holds up a mirror to give you a clear idea of how you're being interpreted yourself. This updated third edition includes new coverage of virtual meetings, multicultural outsourcing environments, devices, and boardroom behaviours for women, as well as insight into Harvard professor Amy Cuddy's research into how body language affects testosterone and cortisol, as published in the Harvard Business Review. This resource will show you how to become a better communicator without saying a word; make a better first (and second, and third ...) impression; learn what other people's signals really mean; transform your personal and professional relationships. -- Edited summary from book. |
