What body language tells us about politicians and ourselves

Listen 00:49:01

Guests: Sara Canuso and Carol Kinsey Goman

Body language tells us a lot: about politicians on the debate stage and about coworkers in the office. In this hour, we’ll learn about what we say through our body language, from the way we tilt our head to what we do with our hands. We’ll be joined by SARA CANUSO, the founder and president of Women That Influence, a Philadelphia-based consulting firm that empowers people to use non-verbal communication, image, and body language to communicate effectively. She has analyzed the non-verbal language of politicians, lawyers, and many others. And, we’ll learn about the role body language plays in the office with CAROL KINSEY GOMAN, a leadership contributor for Forbes and the author of twelve business books including “The Silent Language of Leaders: How Body Language Can Help – or Hurt – How You Lead.”
