How You Become a Body Language Expert by Patti Wood


This nice interview with me about my background was in a client's magazine.


The Magazine
Patti Wood –

Cues for success

Body-language expert Patti Wood shares the secrets of her superpower:

how to read people – and be read – accurately for better business


            Since she was a child, Patti Wood had always had what some might call a superpower: She could read people. She knew when they were telling the truth and when they were being disingenuous. She knew how they were feeling, regardless of what they were saying. But she wasn’t reading their minds; she was reading their body language.
            But it wasn’t until as a college student she took a nonverbal communications class, and Wood realized her superpower was actually a skill, and an actual science, So she began to, and earn degrees in it, conduct research on it, teach it at University level, write books about it, speak on it around the world and eventually become known as one the media experts in the field. “When I began in this field, reading body language was relatively unknown – I used to have to explain what it was,” Wood remembers. “Now, people are much more familiar with it; many even know some of the basics. But the depth of this field, its intricacies and its possible applications out in the world are endless.”
            Our conference members members will dip a proverbial toe into that nonverbal communications well when Wood presents Successful Signals – Body Language in Business at the group’s 2014 National Conference & Trade Show next month. Chances are, Wood will begin where we all do: first impressions.
            “Nonverbal communication has 4.3 times the impact of just a word message,” notes Wood. “And first impressions are formed in a tiny fraction of a second in all situations, including sales and business. In the first minute of interaction with a new person, we can exchange up to 10,000 mostly subconscious cues, and within three minutes, it’s a done deal – our first impressions of one another have been set.”
            According to Wood, these thousands of cues feed into four first-impression factors: credibility, likability, attractiveness and power. “And there are proven ways to consciously up those factors at any point in your interaction,” Wood attests.
            In an interview scenario, the same four factors are at play for both the hiring interviewer and the job candidate. Wood says research has found most hiring decisions are made within the first ten seconds, then the interviewer spends the rest of the time confirming their initial decision.
            “I recommend having more than one person conducting interviews,” states Wood. “There is a strong bias to hire people like yourself, but having a company full of people who are all alike may not be best for business. So have people of different personality types interviewing together, and you’ll get a more complete and accurate ‘read’ on candidates.”
             Out on the sales floor, first impressions can make all the difference – and they begin before the customer is even past the store’s threshold.
            “First impressions can be formed from quite a distance and before someone even speaks,” Wood affirms. “So potential customers are already ‘reading’ your salespeople as they stand at the threshold of the door and, depending on the perceived cues, the customer can decide whether they step forward into the store or turn around and walk back out the door.”
            In addition to learning how to create a positive first impression, participants at Wood’s presentation can expect lessons on connecting with millennials, serving vs. building selling relationships, reading cues that tell you when to go for the close, empowering your physical presence, and looking strong and confident.
            “Understanding body language better helps you give and receive impressions accurately – so your interactions and relationships can become more authentic,” concludes Wood. “When you can see how someone is really feeling, you can support them better, solve problems faster, just be a more effective human being.”

This is an excerpt of a media interview with Jeff Daniels (I love him and was an extra in a movie that he starred in called, “Something Wild”
This is not how most people respond to the media.  Some call this the best three minutes on Television. The speech is very similar to other speeches written by Aron Sorkin. (I saw a fantastic interview of him where they showed clips that had a similar stirring speech.  Here is a clip from that interview.

Body Language Cues and Verbal Cues that a Man is Ready to Settle Down

Time is a nonverbal communicator. If a man begins to give you more time in his life for example not going out with the boys but staying in with you, not watching TV by himself but wants to do things with you, not leaving you in the kitchen alone to cook but wants to be in the kitchen with you that's an indication he is ready to share his time therefore his life with you.

Time may seem a small thing but it's actually a big thing so if he's willing to spend his time helping you fix things around your house or apartment, talking and listening with you this is a healthy and good indication that he cares for you enough to want to marry you. Not taking crazy codependent time with you but healthy time with you.

He wants to be in your space or wants you to be in his space. So he invites you over to his place to spend long periods of time.  He wants you on his couch and wants you cooking in his kitchen. Or he, wants to spend time in your space. When we love somebody and enjoy being with them we want to be in their space and/or share theirs.

His conversation changes as he describes you and him and the relationship to you and to the people he cares for. Language style reveals quite a bit. So the use of we and us increasing in the conversation or appearing in the conversation for that matter is great. When you're with his friends and your friends to see how he describes you and how does he describe the relationship. Does he say us and we are going to do this, this is my girlfriend or this is my love? Girlfriend, love and we are all forms of verbal ownership and indicate a desire to be recognized as a couple.

Does he stand, sit and lay down with his arm around you or arm touching you?  The need to and desire to touch frequently is a good indication of a healthy desire to be with you. I want to distinguish this from clingy, hang-on body language and warm protective loving touch.  I have been reading celebrity couples’ body language for magazines such as US Weekly, Life & Style, Okay and Cosmo for over 15 years. I can tell by a man's touch, how he is around her and how he holds her hand what's going on in the relationship and can predict its success.

Does he give you great eye contact? Does he want to look at the love of his life frequently? When he looks at you do you feel loved?

How to Insure Your Request for a Task or Project Gets Done Easily and Quickly Using Magic Phrasing

He is late, he promised the project would be done in four weeks and it is not done. A friend is getting a room enclosed on the back of her house by a contractor and he promised to get the project done in four weeks and it is not done. A client has a vice president who said he would follow through and get four new clients on board and he has not done anything but email excuses.

Does this sound familiar? Have you ever asked someone to do something for you to find out later they didn’t do it? Or didn’t do it correctly? Have you ever given an employee, team member, vendor or family member what seemed to be a simple task only to have him or her come back to you again in person with questions and excuses for delays? Are you bombarded with emails with problems someone is having following through an assignment?  These magic phrasing questions can help you help others follow through on an assignment.

After you've given somebody an assignment or task ask them one or more of these questions. Ideally you would do this face-to-face, but you can see which ones may work via email.

What is the best way of making this happen easily?

What is the best way to make this happen quickly? 

What would be the first thing you would need to do to make this happen?

What would be a barrier to making this happen?

What would keep this from being able to happen quickly and easily?

What are your concerns going forward with this?

What are your top three concerns or issues going forward with this?

What are two thoughts you have about this project?

What would make this easy to do?

I don't know if I've said this so it’s clear, so when we finish up can you send me an email clarifying how you are going to complete this task?

Can you shoot me an email with the steps you think it will take to complete this project?

Can you shoot me an email with your projected completion dates on each major step on this project?

If you run into any problems getting this done by _______ what would you do?

What questions do you have about what I expect from you on this?

What would make this easy to do or what would make this easier to do? 

What do you think would be the challenges to making this happen?

What would be the first action to make this happen?

What will you need to make this happen when you get back to your desk?

Body Language Read of Kanye and Kim's Photo Shoot



http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-cover/?intcid=article_promo#1

I can tell in those real moments in the video they had intimate little interactions with one another. Specifically I love how when he was posing with his hands around her waist she had her hand on top and then caressed and patted his hand showing they have strength of connection. Hand holding, hand touching and body weight in analysis of couples speaks to connection relationship and tenderness and in that moment they have all of those.
Also liked that wonderful little bit where his head goes back and she turns back and smiles this really shows that intimacy and fun that they have with one another which I have never seen any of their still photographs. If anybody was ever wondering how that relationship works I think that particular moment shows you.

Is Sofia & Nick's Relationship Cooling Off?



In September, Sofia Vergara, 41, and Nick Loeb, 38, shared a  passionate embrace during an Emmy Awards afterparty.Patti observed that their chests, stomachs and pelvises pressed together showing a strong sexual connection.  Yet the couple looked more distant during a Feb. 18th stroll around Australia.  Patti noticed that there is a lot of space between them.  She said that when couples are super lovey-dovey, they want nothing to come between them.

Patti gives this couple a 2 1/2 on the Life &Style True Love Rating scale.

Closer Than Ever



Mad Man hunk Jon Hamm, 42, didn't look thrilled to have longtime girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt, 44, on his arm before a January 2013 event in LA.  According to Patti "he looks exhausted, his posture is very stiff and he does not want to be there."  However, the duo's Jan. 24th dog-walk this year tells a much different story. Patti observes there is a lot of tenderness between them and it is obvious by the way he puts his arm around her and she clasps his hand.

Patti gives the couple a 4 1/2 on the Life & Style True Love Rating Scale in 2014!

Flirtier Than Ever


Nearly four years ago, Matthew McConaughey, 44, and Camila Alves, 32, shared a tense moment on the red carpet.  According to Patti, "there is a sadness in her face but an intimacy in her touch."  His touch is a bit admonishing and he is looking away as if he is distracted."  But the duo were genuinely affectionate during Matthew's big night at the Dallas Buyers Club premiere in Rome.  Camile playfully has her arms around him like, "He's mine!"  and with his leg crossed toward her, he happily agrees!"

Patti gives this couple a 4 on the Life & Style True Love Rating Scale in 2014!

Alzheimer's patients were far less able to smell peanut butter with their left nostrils than with their right.



I recently read in THE WEEK that their is a new Sniff test that helps doctors diagnose Alzheimer's Disease. It involves sniffing peanut butter. Alzheimer's patients were far less able to smell peanut butter with their left nostrils than with their right.
Makes me think of my occasional craving for PBJ's in a whole new light.

Attention Getting "Headlines" for Your Speeches, Blogs. What is UPWorthy?

Attention Getting "Headlines"  for Your Speeches, Blogs. What is UPWorthy?

Think about this when you are creating the first few lines of your next speech or blog.


I Didn't Think I'd Love This Upworthy Headline Generator. Boy, Was I Wrong.
So great.
T
he most popular Upworthy story of all time contains the word "wondtacular."
Sold. The post in question is about a talented 14-year-old musician who recently lost his battle with terminal cancer, and it has been viewed 17 million times and counting. It's very touching. You may have already come across it in your Facebook feed.
And if you haven't, chances are you have already encountered something eerily similar. Perhaps it was the site's second-most viewed post of all time: "See Why We Have An Absolutely Ridiculous Standard of Beauty In Just 37 Seconds" (11.8 million pageviews). Or maybe it was the instant classic: "His First 4 Sentences Are Interesting. The 5th Blew My Mind. And Made Me A Little Sick" (4.9 million). There are many, many others, and they all follow the same basic template.
This, my friend, is the wondrous world of socially engineered content. And we might as well get used to it.
For the unfamiliar, Upworthy is a progressive website built around the idea that heart-warming, life-affirming content — in this case, obscure YouTube videos unearthed by the site's editors — deserves to be put in front of as many eyeballs as possible. This is accomplished almost exlusively through social media channels like Facebook.
To give a video wings (the "up" part), Upworthy contributors write dozens of headlines for each story designed for the sole purpose of plucking your heartstrings. Then they pick the one most likely to spark an emotional reaction.
BuzzFeed's John Herrman called it 2013's reincarnation of the internet chain letter. The Atlantic's Derek Thompson, on the other hand, dubbed Upworthy "the internet's latest viral wizard."
The site's overwhelming success is enviable. At just 17 months old, Upworthy attracted 46.7 million unique visitors this past October according to ComScore, making it much more popular than many news sites. Its earnestness, exemplified by its sticky-sweet two-sentence headlines, has already been duplicated by a host of imitators, some unabashed in their flattery (Viral Nova) and others still finding their footing (Viral Conservative). Even the venerable Washington Post has launched an Upworthy-style vertical.
Ryan Holiday at Betabeat writes that what these sites (which include BuzzFeed) have in common is that they have mastered the art of "filtering and exclusively delivering only a small sliver of reality — one that is all sweet and no sweat." They provide a quick endorphin rush to make you feel warm and fuzzy — and, hopefully, generous with your clicks.
Which isn't a bad thing! But with all that success comes the inevitable blowback, which in this case has manifested itself in the Upworthy headline generator created by former BuzzFeed and Google employee Mike Lacher.
The single-serving site, which is "in no way affiliated with Upworthy," pokes fun at some of the Upworthy's more cloying attempts to snare clicks from your Facebook friends. It's quite funny, too:



I think part of the Upworthy generator's appeal is that it mockingly strips away the warm veneer that can make Upworthy feel one-dimensional. It's a gentle reminder to the feel-good economy that the world is sometimes awful and largely indifferent, and that armchair inspiration still takes place, well... in an armchair.
To say Upworthy does more harm than good is downright silly. But like most things, it's best enjoyed when you know a bit about how it actually works.

Is Eye Contact Overrated, Power and Eye Contact

Is Eye Contact Overrated?

I think that speakers make less eye contact than listeners and that is really what this research finding shows rather than any truths about debating. 

  

Is eye contact overrated?
Don't look now, but...
Traditionalists and high-powered guys with Machiavelli on their Kindles will probably tell you that looking straight into another person's face and maintaining unflinching eye contact is the age-old secret to the Powers of Persuasion. In actuality, though, the opposite may be true, especially in the midst of a heated debate.
"Debate" is the operative word here. Unlike previous psychological studies analyzing the bonds forged when a mother stares into a baby's eyes, or when two lovers tenderly lock gazes, this time a team of researchers from Harvard University and the University of British Columbia sought to understand eye contact from a different vantage point: Does looking into another person's eyes really help your cause when you're trying to win an argument?
The short answer: Perhaps not. The new paper, published in the journal Psychological Science, only took a look at 20 participants, but the results are intriguing. Researchers had subjects share their opinions on contentious issues, such as affirmative action and assisted suicide, then watch recorded talks by a speaker on those same topics. At the same time, researchers used eye-tracking technology to determine when and (more importantly) if participants were looking at the eyes of the person in the recording.
When participants shared an opinion with the speaker, they were more likely to establish eye contact. But when they disagreed, suddenly their gaze was less focused. "The participants were less likely to change their opinions if they were looking into the eyes of the speaker, especially when the speaker was also looking directly at the participant, rather than to the side of the screen," says Alexander Sifferlin at TIME:
To test this again, the researchers had the participants watch more videos, but sometimes they were told to look into the speaker's eyes, and other times they were instructed to look at the speaker's lips. The participants who looked into the speaker's eyes were once again less likely to change their opinions compared to participants focusing on the speaker's lips. [TIME]
Now, most people simply aren't accustomed to making consistent eye contact. "Your eyes naturally go back and forth between the eyes and the mouth," co-author Julia Minson, a psychologist and assistant professor at Harvard, tells Forbes. "There's also some time when your eyes just wander around."
Of course, the study does have its flaws. Video interaction is a poor substitute for person-to-person interaction, so all those reactive subtleties communicated by body language are lost in transmission.
Still, not locking eyes may be your best tactic going forward if you're trying to make a point. Putting your phone away probably helps, too.

How to Use Tech Tools in the Doctors Office and Still Serve Your Patient.

How to Use Tech Tools in the Doctors Office and Still Serve Your Patient.
I speak  to  and consult with Doctors, Nurses and other Health Care professionals about body language and patient care and advise hospitals and medical offices on how to design their office space and use technology in ways that best serve the patient and the bottom line.  There are 4 new tech tools that have the potential to interrupt the rapport and trust that needs to occur between the patient and the health care professional.
Steps for Using Technology in Patient Care to Show More
 The most important thing to remember is to think, look at, touch and interact with the patient First before thinking about looking at, touching or interacting with technology. So for example coming in with your smart phone (that now has the EKG technology available) in your hand and ready to show the patient as you are introduced. Have it put away. Greet the patient, establish rapport, discuss the technology then show the technology in a way that makes it a part of the two of you as a unit rather than the technology as the magic device. If the patient is male that means standing or siting side by side with them as you introduce the technology if the patient is a women that means ideally interacting face to face and introducing the technology. (See my blogs and articles on side by side vs face to face.)
 Below are the four new tech tools. Which ones are you using in your office.
Patti Wood, MA, Certified Speaking Professional - The Body Language Expert. For more body language insights go to her website at www.PattiWood.net.

4 tech tools that are disrupting the doctor's office
Need to take an ECG? There's an app for that now.
n 2013, technology permeated health care like never before. Diagnostics came to our smartphones, robots came to our surgery rooms, and Dr. Phil invested in a startup that wants to facilitate online doctors' visits.
Here are four groundbreaking medical tools that either hit shelves or revved up development this year:

AliveCor
A smartphone case that can charge your phone is handy, but a smartphone case that can record and transmit an ECG takes the cake. This spring, the FDA approved AliveCor, a black case with silver censors, for over-the-counter sales. The tool helps users monitor their heart palpitations by simply placing her fingers over the censors, then transmitting the recording to a doctor.
This has several benefits. First, any patient experiencing the kind of random heart arrhythmia they can't self-induce in a doctor's office can simply buy one, record when the irregularity occurs, and send the data to a doctor. After a doctor diagnoses the problem and writes a prescription, the device can also serve to gather information about how a prescription is working.
A third benefit: AliveCor can help reassure a patient with a harmless or even phantom murmur that nothing is wrong — making life a little easier for hypochondriacs and their doctors.
CellScope Oto
This one is especially beneficial for physicians who work with children, and therefore parents.
The tool is essentially a camera-fitted Otoscope (that flashlight thing doctors stick in your ear during a physical) that attaches to a smartphone. The doctor can view the inside of a patient's ear, take photos of an ear drum, and store those photos for later use. Then, when a patient has an ear ache, the doctor can compare the photos taken during a healthy physical with the new photos to both make a diagnosis, and help parents understand what's going on inside their children's ears.
If the CellScope Oto becomes available to parents, they could perform ear exams on their children and send the photos to a doctor. This could help them avoid unnecessary doctor's visits, where the kids risk picking up a bug in a waiting room.
The anesthesiologist robot
Anesthesiologists, some of the highest paid doctors, are responsible for administering sedation and keeping a patient ticking during surgeries. This year, Johnson & Johnson released what some are calling a robot anesthesiologist — a system named Sedasys that "automates the sedation of many patients undergoing colon-cancer screenings called colonoscopies," says The Wall Street Journal.
Anesthesiologists see big problems with the bots, warning they may not be able to respond accurately to complications. But tests so far show the machines are not only safe, but may even reduce the risk of over-sedation. And hospitals see a clear benefit: Cost. J&J will lease the machines to doctor's offices for about $150 per procedure, compared to the $600 to $2,000 that anesthesiologists typically charge.
Scanadu Scout
This year, a Silicon Valley startup drew funding to develop a device fit for Spock: A small tricorder shaped like a hockey puck that can monitor all kinds of vital signs. By holding it up to the temple, a patient can monitor her heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate as well as measure oxygen levels in blood, and run an electrocardiogram.
This could be a kind of holy grail of telemedicine — something that allows patients to communicate a lot of health data quickly and remotely to their doctors.
Again, this could help nervous types avoid unnecessary emergency visits, and allow doctors to urge those in trouble to go to the emergency room stat. Scanadu hopes to have it set and ready to ship by early 2015.
