Here are some of my rough notes from correspondence with the
author of a book that he is writing on interesting and unusual jobs using your
passion.
What a great idea for book. I often have people ask me what
do you actually do as a body language expert.
I created a career as a body language expert. I use my
background and education in nonverbal communication in many ways. I
design and conduct speeches and training for companies,
Consult with businesses on everything from hiring,
Interviewing, detecting deception in employee and or vendors. I write books,
and work with National and International media as one
of the top authorities on body language.
For example in the past two weeks I
·
Gave two workshops for business owners (companies
with profits of 200,000 to several billion dollars) on ways they can use body
language to lead and manage their employees, negotiate, and select their
employees.
·
Was asked by the Today show to tell them whether
a funny party trick to detect deception that is popular on the internet had any
validity or research to back it up. (It didn’t, but it is still a fun trick.)
·
Did my weekly body language analysis for Life &
Style of celebrity couple photos.
·
Met with several one-on-one coaching clients
including several business owners.
·
Worked with a client designing a media interviewing
course for Emergency Physicians who have to give crisis media interviews.
·
Was interviewed by several media outlets
including a story on Chronemics, (the study on our perception of time) effects
how customers feel waiting to be served.
·
Met with producers for a reality show
called Kim of Queens and gave them body language tips for their guests on the
show.
·
Wrote a newsletter with an article on
gestures and several other articles.
·
Prepared for a three day workshop I am doing
next week on Presentation Skills
·
Wrote other blog posts you may want to check out
many in response to questions I get from my clients.
·
Began research for a set of lectures I am doing
for The Great Courses lecture series.
·
Did some “secret shopping” at stores to
customize two presentations I will be doing for a Rent to Own Association.
·
Prepared for a speech on body language and first
impressions I am doing soon at Johnson and Wales University. It has been a busy
two weeks.
I have website, a YouTube channel, blogs and more. You can
