Reading Body Language: A Quick Guide (Video)
October 28, 2016
Maybe this will help folks understand why I tell them, “I need to straighten my glasses so I can see what you are saying.” The rest of your body speaks as much as your mouth does in ways that count.
Personal interactions with others are often draped in nuance. Here are some ways to read the unspoken things people say with their bodies.

Scientists, law enforcement, the intelligence community, your parents, your significant other… they all know. Get this knowledge. Learn something about reading people, people. And maybe understand how people are reading you!

How Can You Tell If Someone Is Lying? (Video)
September 26, 2016
Okay. This is FASCINATING! Being able to divine the truth, or at least determine when someone is lying is the stuff of great spy stories, war movies, epic action-dramas, even sci-fi/superhero blockbusters… Captain America and the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. could have certainly used a lot more of lie spotting early on in “The Winter Soldier” right?
(By the way, if you haven’t already, you reeeeally should check out the BEST MARVEL UNIVERSE FILM TO DATE – “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”)
Deception can destroy confidence. Pamela Myer, the author of “Liespotting: Proven Techniques to Detect Deception” and one of the most popular Ted Talks of all time, has made a career developing interview techniques and identifying verbal and non-verbal cues a person trying to lie to you might exhibit.
But let’s bring this skill back down to Earth. Consider how your parents (or you readers who are parents) utilize lie spotting day-to-day. How does a mom know when her child is lying about where she was this afternoon? How does pops already know about those scratches on the car door did NOT just ‘happen at the supermarket’? Or let’s get real-life: How can an investigator know if a person of interest is telling the truth or not… or how might a spy counter lie spotting techniques?
Or to get really real… How will you determine whether the candidates are answering truthfully during the U.S. Presidential Debate?
(Tonight at 9PM EST. I’ll be watching on PBS – available on TV or online here.)

Comedy: Stephen Colbert Examines How ‘Body Language’ Is Important In The U.S. Presidential Debate (Video)
October 9, 2012
Stephen Colbert kills me! Comedy Central’s resident “conservative” declares that while United States Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney ‘distance[d] himself from everything he said on the campaign trail’… ‘it worked, so f##k it!’ Hahahaaaaa! But there were more important criteria than stuff like ‘facts’ or ‘consistency’ on which we should judge debate performance (says Colbert). We should be looking at Romney’s and President Barack Obama’s body language. So, in this clip, we do. Hilarious stuff. Can’t wait until the U.S. Vice Presidential debate and the other Presidential debates for more serious stuff. But for now… more laughter. Click play above. You’ll see…
