Podcasts about Body language

Your body is talking to your brain constantly, telling it either 'I'm safe' or 'I'm not safe.' The posture you default to when no one's watching might be the thing keeping you stuck. Amy Cuddy, the social psychologist behind one of the most-watched TED Talks ever, sat down to unpack what actually builds confidence when the world feels unstable. She talks about the difference between faking it and becoming it, why imposter syndrome hits 75-85% of people, and why the bullies who came after her post-TED fame taught her more about personal power than the research ever did. You'll hear about the exact breathing pattern she uses before high-stakes moments, the simple writing exercise that beats any pep talk, and why she thinks reframing anxiety as excitement changes everything. There's also a story about a nurse named Alex Wubbels who got thrown against a wall for doing the right thing, and what that taught Amy about the kind of bravery that has no glory attached to it. This conversation will make you rethink every time you've shrunk yourself to avoid being noticed. Sit up straight, not for anyone else, but because you deserve the respect you keep giving away. Bullied: The Culture of Cruelty and the Surprising Power of Social Bravery Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges Amy's website Amy on Instagram Amy on LinkedIn Amy's TED Talk In this episode you will: Reclaim your sense of personal power using postural feedback and 4-7-8 breathing before high-stakes moments Rewrite the self-doubt that keeps you silent by practicing self-affirmation theory rooted in your core values Transform pre-performance anxiety into excitement using Alison Wood Brooks's reframing research Discover why bumblers earn more trust than pointers when things go wrong in public Overcome imposter syndrome by shifting focus from how you're judged to how you can serve others Draw the line between confidence and arrogance so self-belief fuels you instead of blinding you For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1973 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

“We are now competing in conversation with someone's feed.”Connecting with others requires more than knowing what to say. The signals we send through our body language, the questions we ask, and even where we position ourselves can shape how others experience a conversation. In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, behavioral researcher and author of Cues and Captivate, Vanessa Van Edwards joins Matt Abrahams to explore the subtle cues that make communication more engaging. She shares strategies for navigating networking events, sparking more meaningful conversations, and signaling the warmth and competence that shape charisma and connection.Takeaways:Connection starts before you speak. Visible palms, eye contact, positioning, and other nonverbal cues can signal warmth and openness, shaping how others experience an interaction from the start.Better conversations spark curiosity. Moving beyond routine small talk with engaging questions, surprising stories, and genuine enthusiasm can make interactions more memorable and meaningful.Activity:Create a conversational feed. Start a note on your phone and collect three things from your week—a surprising moment, an interesting observation, or a small win. Bring one into your next networking event or meeting as “conversational confetti” instead of defaulting to routine small talk.Printable Expanded Takeaways & ActivitiesEpisode Reference Links:Vanessa Van EdwardsVanessa's Books: Cues / CaptivateEp.301 Trust at First Sight: Create More Meaningful Connections Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (00:37) - Why Your Hands Matter (02:20) - Networking With Confidence (05:34) - Make Small Talk More Engaging (09:03) - The Science of Charisma (13:11) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

What if your leadership is not landing because of your strategy, your message, or your credentials, but because your body has been running a completely different conversation the whole time, one you never agreed to and have no idea is happening? You have been trained to read other people. Decode their crossed arms. Interpret their microexpressions. And while you have been busy analyzing everyone else in the room, your own nervous system has been broadcasting your uncertainty, your defensiveness, your need for approval in real time, while everybody was watching. In this episode, Dov sits down with Rachel Cossar, co-founder and CEO of Virtual Sapiens, TEDx speaker, and one of only a handful of AI founders in the world building technology deliberately designed not to become emotionally sticky. She was a nationally ranked rhythmic gymnast representing Canada at 17. A professional ballerina with the Boston Ballet at 27. Two elite careers built on one foundational skill: communicating everything through the body with nothing else available. Both careers ended, not by choice, but by injury. Which means Rachel has faced the question most people spend a lifetime avoiding, twice, before her thirtieth birthday. What do you do when the identity you built your whole life around simply disappears? Then Dov asks her the question the AI industry is not asking itself. In a market where every technology company needs you to form an emotional bond with their AI to hit their commercial numbers, Rachel has built one that refuses to let you. Her AI is not a coach. Not a companion. It is a practice partner. That distinction is not semantic. It is a deliberate stand against what she names as the core risk of the entire AI moment: AI replacing human connection rather than developing human capability. Inside this conversation: The reverse body-language thesis: what most leaders are broadcasting before they open their mouths, and why every body-language course has been teaching them to look at the wrong person The physical anchoring practice you can do in the next 60 seconds before any high-stakes conversation, borrowed from the discipline of elite performance Why the entire AI-coaching industry is building products that will fail, and what her data on user engagement actually shows The moment the artistic director told her he couldn't offer her another contract, and what she still couldn't see for months afterward The one thing Rachel wishes every leader would finally understand about presence, and why intention without it is empty If you came here for comfortable answers about AI and communication, you are on the wrong podcast. If you came because something in you already suspects that the room reads you before you speak and you have never known what to do about it, press play.

"You want to make sure you have the energy at the end of your communication as well as at the beginning." Why do some people command a room without raising their voice? Being heard isn't about speaking louder—it's about using your voice with intention. Breath, posture, and preparation all play a role in helping your message reach the people who need to hear it. In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Matt Abrahams shares practical techniques for projecting your voice with confidence, building vocal stamina, and using microphones effectively. From breathing with more control to making the most of your physical presence, you'll learn simple strategies to ensure your message is heard when it matters mostKey Takeaways:Strong voices start with strong breathing. Your breath is the foundation of vocal projection, helping you speak with greater volume, clarity, and confidence without straining your voice.Preparation helps your voice go the distance. Building vocal stamina, improving your posture, and using microphones effectively ensures your message stays strong from your first word to your last.Activity:Build a vocal warm-up. Before your next presentation or important meeting, spend five minutes reading aloud while focusing on slow, deep breathing. Then identify one physical reminder—such as standing taller or relaxing your shoulders—to help support your voice before you begin.Episode Reference Links:Ep.262 Own the Room: How Voice, Breath, and Body Work Together Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (00:58) - Breathing for Better Projection (02:29) - Place Your Voice (04:05) - Building Vocal Stamina (05:41) - Using a Lavalier Mic (07:07) - Using a Handheld Mic (08:29) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.With LinkedIn Hiring Pro, you can hire with confidence, knowing you're getting the best talent for your needs.

What opportunities are we missing because we're afraid to take a chance? And what happens when we stop simply existing and give ourselves permission to become fully engaged in our own lives?We also dive into neuroscience and how understanding the brain can help us better understand our decisions, behaviors, relationships, and reactions to the world around us.Whether you're a CEO, entrepreneur, manager, musician, educator, emerging leader—or simply someone determined to grow—this episode offers practical insights for becoming a better communicator, a more authentic leader, and a more courageous human being.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why listening is essential to effective leadership• The difference between a leader and leadership• What music and professional musicians can teach us about teamwork• How body language shapes communication• What neuroscience reveals about human behavior and decision-making• Why calculated risk-taking is essential for growth• How fear can quietly limit opportunity• Why authenticity matters in leadership and life• How to become more fully engaged and alive• Practical leadership and personal-development lessons you can use immediatelyLeadership isn't simply about having authority. It's about listening, communicating, taking responsibility, embracing uncertainty, and having the courage to step forward when the outcome isn't guaranteed.

It's way too common for therapists to feel confused and frustrated with their model. Many counselors feel like their models work for some but feel hopeless with certain clients. Worst of all is when therapists feel like a "rent-a-friend" instead of a catalyst for change. I'm Dr. Jordan Harris, and I help therapists move from "lost" to "confident" by mastering the meta-skills of clinical excellence. My approach isn't about learning another model—it's about knowing when and how to use the tools you already have to create deeper, more transformative emotional encounters. In my trainings, we focus on four key pillars: Motivation: Working with (not against) client resistance. Persuasion: Engaging clients so they show up hopeful and ready. Experiencing: Moving past surface-level talk into deep emotional work. Body Language: Reading non-verbal cues for true clinical attunement.

We covered a Queen song, yada yada yada, it's from Hot Space, yada yada yada... Right. We need to talk about this vicious attack on Kev's reputation and character that was perpetrated by the coward, Sean McGinity of the SeanGeek and FastFret podcast. Apart from the disgraceful lyrics in this week's lead out song, he rubs salt in the wounds by re-lyricing a fucking Kiss song? Worse yet, a song sung by Gene "the hairy, unevolved simian" Simmons???? Mark my words McGinity, retribution is coming. You won't know where. You won't know when. You won't know which podcast. But it's coming. You have offended my honour sir! I demand satisfaction. Today's episode wraps up Hot Space and it ekes just marginally over the 55% score from us. We know that many people love this song but, like marmite, lots of other people think its inedible gack. Which side of the fence will Kev and Randy fall on???If Randy were to title this episode, I'd probably call it “Look at Freddie, he's got a case of Body Language”, or possibly, “Why no Deacy bass?”NOTE: Skip forward to 20:01 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is the disgusting attack on my person by Sean McGinity of Winnipeg, Manitsfrozen.

In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum is joined by retired Secret Service agent and polygraph examiner Brad Beeler to discuss what 25 years of talking with suspects, witnesses, victims, and some of the worst offenders taught him about getting people to open up and tell the truth. Brad covers why trust has to come before truth, the damage one accusatory word can do to a conversation, and how respect gets people to open up faster than pressure ever will. He also shares practical signs that may indicate deception, why sometimes the best thing you can do is stop talking and listen, and how the same principles he relied on in high-stakes investigations can help anyone become a better communicator. Highlights: (0:00) Sheryl McCollum introduces retired Secret Service agent Brad Beeler and the moment she saw his commitment to a cold case firsthand (5:30) Why making people feel heard, respected, and genuinely listened to can change a conversation (8:00) The worst thing you can call someone when you are trying to get the truth (10:00) Why Brad aims to listen 80% of the time and what investigators can learn when they stop talking (15:45) “Create a space where truth feels safe enough to emerge” (17:45) Why even the worst offenders have to be treated with respect if investigators want answers (21:30) How Brad evaluates possible deception without relying on a single supposed ‘tell’ (23:15) Turning a story into a yes-or-no question to test whether someone will stand behind what they said (24:30) Delayed answers, vocal inflection, overly specific responses, and qualifying words that may signal deception (27:15) Why respect matters more than rapport when you have little in common with someone (28:30) What protecting foreign dignitaries taught Brad about professional respect across cultural and political divides Enjoying Zone 7?

Communication used to be filed away as a soft skill.  Kate Megaw and Ryan Smith make the case that it has become central to everything we do.  In a VUCA environment that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, communication is the anchor that keeps teams steady, and a recent Wiley survey found that 64 percent of people call it the single most important leadership skill.Kate and Ryan dig into why communicating well is harder than ever across hybrid, remote, and distributed teams.  They unpack the Mehrabian 7-38-55 rule and why a quick Slack can cost you most of your message, the rule of seven and how to repeat yourself without becoming noise, and the over-communication trap that trains people to tune you out.  You will walk away with practical habits for choosing channels, building two-way dialogue, and turning communication into part of your team's working agreement.  When things are stable, a team can survive weak communication.  Nothing is stable right now, so

“Communication is the number one way to remove friction.”If communication is the key to connection, then removing friction is what makes every interaction work. According to Vanessa Van Edwards, the most effective communicators aren't just skilled with words—they know how to align their gestures, body language, and presence to make others feel at ease. A behavioral researcher and bestselling author of Captivate and Cues, Van Edwards studies the subtle signals that shape how we are perceived. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, she joins Matt Abrahams to explore the hidden factors that influence communication, from purposeful gestures and expressive body language to the words, images, and visual cues that build trust and credibility.Takeaways:Great communication goes beyond words. Gestures, facial expressions, visual cues, and even the language we use in emails and meetings can either create friction or build trust, clarity, and connection.Focus on the other person, not yourself. By applying the Platinum Rule—treating others as they want to be treated—and intentionally putting people at ease, communicators can foster stronger relationships, deeper conversations, and greater influence.Activity:Practice the Platinum Rule. Before your next important conversation, meeting, or email, take one minute to answer: “What does this person need from me right now?” Then tailor your communication to their priorities, concerns, and preferred style—not your own. Afterward, reflect on how that shift changed the quality of the interaction.Printable PDF of Takeaways & ActivityEpisode Reference Links:Vanessa Van EdwardsVanessa's Books: Cues / CaptivateEp.137 When Words Aren't Enough: How to Excel at Nonverbal Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:01) - The Importance of Strategic Communication (01:45) - The Power of Gestures (04:10) - A Readiness Check for Speakers (05:56) - Over-Signaling vs. Under-Signaling (08:18) - Dangerous Words in Communication (12:27) - Imagery Cues & First Impressions (15:03) - Virtual Backgrounds Matter (17:33) - The Platinum Rule (19:01) - The Final Three Questions (23:59) - Conclusion

Whether you're in a face-to-face conversation or firing off a Slack message, most of what you communicate has nothing to do with the words you choose. Today we're unpacking the hidden language beneath our language — from physical signals to digital cues — with two authors who've spent their careers decoding how humans really connect. Joe Navarro is a former FBI counterintelligence agent turned world-renowned body language expert, and his new book Mastering Connections reveals how reading nonverbal signals can unlock deeper, more lasting relationships. And Erica Dhawan, leadership expert and author of Digital Body Language, shows how the same principles apply in our inboxes — where a single punctuation mark can make or break trust. Two books, one big idea: genuine connection is a skill you can learn.

That little white folded box Chinese takeout comes in may be one of the cleverest pieces of food packaging ever invented. What's funny is—it isn't Chinese at all. It was never originally designed to hold noodles or fried rice, and its origin story is far stranger and more American than most people realize. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyster_pail People are constantly communicating—even when they never say a word. A glance, a shift in posture, crossed arms, the position of the feet, how long someone holds eye contact… body language can reveal confidence, discomfort, attraction, deception, status, and emotion in ways most people completely miss. But many popular beliefs about body language are also wrong or overly simplistic. Joe Navarro, former FBI counterintelligence and counterterrorism agent and one of the world's leading experts on nonverbal communication, explains how body language really works, how to better read the people around you, and how understanding nonverbal behavior can dramatically improve your relationships and communication. He is author of Mastering Connections: Build Stronger Relationships with the Science of Body Language (https://amzn.to/4uB0PBo). Some people always seem rushed, overwhelmed, and behind—while others somehow manage to get an incredible amount done without appearing frantic. The difference may have less to do with time itself and more to do with how people think about time. Laura Vanderkam has spent years studying highly productive people and says many of us approach time completely backward. In our conversation, she explains why feeling “time poor” has become so common, how small changes in priorities can radically change your sense of control, and why having more time may actually begin with changing the story you tell yourself about it. Laura is author of Big Time: A Simple Path to Time Abundance (https://amzn.to/4x0cawK). Birdsong does more than create a pleasant soundtrack outdoors.

Do you really win the negotiation if it means losing the relationship?You might think that successful negotiation means getting what you want here and now. But Stan Christensen says this short-sighted view is selling many negotiators short.Christensen is a professional negotiator, host of the All Things Negotiation podcast, and instructor of one of Stanford's most popular courses on the subject. His core insight: most negotiations happen with people you'll see again — which means success isn't about claiming victory, it's about building long-term, mutually beneficial relationships. “Most people think of negotiation statically,” he says. “It's you and I. There's a fixed pie. We're trying to get more for ourself and less for the other party. In reality, 95% of negotiations are gonna be with people you see again, so I define success as contributing to the value of the long-term relationship.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Christensen and host Matt Abrahams explore what it takes to negotiate well — from the power of listening and asking questions to managing emotions and communicating for collaboration. Whether you're negotiating a business deal or just deciding where to go to dinner, Christensen shows why every negotiation is an opportunity to strengthen the relationship.Episode Reference Links:Stan ChristensenAll Things Negotiation PodcastEp.15 The Art of Negotiation: How to Get More of What You WantEp.204 Tough Talks: Turn Tension Into Trust Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:11) - What Is Negotiation?

Think all psychopaths look like cold-blooded villains? Think again. In Part 2, we dive into the chilling case of Gen Z singer D4vid, examine how manipulative people slip under the radar, and (most importantly) arm you with strategies to spot and outmaneuver manipulators in love and life.

We'll break down why manipulators seem to read your deepest desires, how “love bombing” and gaslighting can hijack your confidence, and why you have to pay attention not just to what people do, but to what they DON'T do. Mark even roleplays the exact tactics predators use, so you can see through the smoke and mirrors for yourself.

Ever wonder if you've secretly dated a psychopath? Statistically, one in twenty people has psychopathic traits, and if you've been in the dating game for long, chances are you've run into one and didn't even know. This episode is here to give you tools that could literally save your heart, your sanity, and possibly your life. I'm joined by the world's #1 Communication Keynote Speaker and expert in Body Language and Human Behavior, Mark Bowden, who's here to teach us how to spot psychopaths, decode lies, and protect yourself from manipulators before it's too late. We break down the infamous Chris Watts case, dissecting the chilling body language and story inconsistencies that revealed the shocking truth. Mark gives us the ultimate five-point checklist for detecting deception, shares why some people don't show empathy, and teaches you how to read the red flags even when someone's acting like the perfect partner. This is a masterclass in self-defense of your mind, your emotions, and your intuition. SHOWNOTES Statistical reality: 1 in 20 have psychopathic traits. Chris Watts introduced as case study. What grief, concern, and anger look like (and what it means when you don't see them). Five things to watch for when detecting lies: changing stories, pronoun shifts, tense changes, oaths/euphemisms, and repeating questions.  Real-time analysis of Chris Watts' story: blame shifting, lack of distress, and loss of energy. Over-protesting innocence: when it signals guilt, plus the importance of conversational stakes. The psychology behind power, narcissism, and why some choose destruction over divorce. Unmasking the inner world: how psychopathic people process “unfairness” and why they act out.  How to assess guilt: what to do when your gut says “something's off.” Understanding charm as a ruse: the D4vid case and why “safe” can be smoke and mirrors. The SCAN method: suspend judgment, context, ask, new judgment, and why it can save you.

Statistically, one in twenty people has psychopathic traits, and if you've been in the dating game for long, chances are you've run into one and didn't even know. This episode is here to give you tools that could literally save your heart, your sanity, and possibly your life. I'm joined by the world's #1 Communication Keynote Speaker and expert in Body Language and Human Behavior, Mark Bowden, who's here to teach us how to spot psychopaths, decode lies, and protect yourself from manipulators before it's too late. We break down the infamous Chris Watts case, dissecting the chilling body language and story inconsistencies that revealed the shocking truth. Mark gives us the ultimate five-point checklist for detecting deception, shares why some people don't show empathy, and teaches you how to read the red flags even when someone's acting like the perfect partner. This is a masterclass in self-defense of your mind, your emotions, and your intuition. SHOWNOTES Statistical reality: 1 in 20 have psychopathic traits. Chris Watts introduced as case study. What grief, concern, and anger look like (and what it means when you don't see them). Five things to watch for when detecting lies: changing stories, pronoun shifts, tense changes, oaths/euphemisms, and repeating questions.  Real-time analysis of Chris Watts' story: blame shifting, lack of distress, and loss of energy. Over-protesting innocence: when it signals guilt, plus the importance of conversational stakes. The psychology behind power, narcissism, and why some choose destruction over divorce. Unmasking the inner world: how psychopathic people process “unfairness” and why they act out.  How to assess guilt: what to do when your gut says “something's off.” Understanding charm as a ruse: the D4vid case and why “safe” can be smoke and mirrors. The SCAN method: suspend judgment, context, ask, new judgment, and why it can save you.

What keeps us from being more social? Nick Epley calls it a “mind-reading mistake.”We all think about what others think, particularly what they think about us. The problem, says Nick Epley, is that we're almost always wrong.Epley is a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and author of A Little More Social: How Small Choices Create Unexpected Happiness, Health, and Connection. What keeps people from engaging authentically, connecting deeply, and enjoying a meaningful social life? It comes down to an error of social cognition, “A mind-reading mistake,” Epley says. “If I don't think you want to talk to me, I won't try. And I'll never find out that I'm wrong about that.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Epley and host Matt Abrahams explore why we hold ourselves back from meaningful conversation, and what happens when we don't. From taking an interest in others to sharing more freely about ourselves, Epley shares strategies for being a little more social — and making your life considerably better as a result.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Nick EpleyNick's Book: A Little More SocialEp.133 From Good to Super: How Supercommunicators Unlock the Language of Connection Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:31) - Problems with Body Language (04:15) - Perspective Getting (07:14) - Asking Better Questions (08:41) - Moving Beyond Small Talk (10:13) - Why We Hold Back (11:33) - Advice For Introverts (15:17) - A Little More Social (18:34) - The Final Three Questions (24:45) - Conclusion
