How Do You Encourage Reading in Your Children? A Nonverbal Communication Expert Recommendations.
As
an expert in nonverbal communication, I would recommend the placement of books
all around the home. Placement that may communicate honor and respect for the books,
such as organized placement on shelves and placement that indicates easy
accessibility like low-level coffee tables, low-level side tables, and
low-level bookshelves for children.
It's also interesting that children will model their parent's nonverbal behavior. Children will also watch how their parents and older siblings hold and focus on their books, specifically, does it hold their undivided attention, do they stare intently at it, hold it close, curl their body around it, and other subtle nonverbal cues such as and if they carry a book with them when they leave the house, do they see their parents reading a book as they wait at the doctor's office, or they see that their parents read in bed before sleep, or after dinner in the living room instead of watching TV or in a cozy spot, or at the beach, etc, they are more likely to model that reading ritual.
For example, my dad studied a lot and had his textbooks that filled their shelves in the bedroom and also had a stack of steamy bestsellers on his bedside, and he had a subscription to several newspapers including the Wall Street Journal and many many magazines that where left on the coffee table, my parent's bed and side tables always available to read. I started reading the Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, Newsweek, and a host of other magazines and his potboiler novels when I was ten or so.
Now have bookshelves filled with textbooks and other books on my expertise
(nonverbal communication) in my house. I have over 1,000 books in my house! And
I always have novels stacked on my bedside table and books and magazines of all kinds on my coffee table.
Workplace Bullying and What You Can Do About It.
I speak and write about how to avoid workplace bullying and how to deal with it in the workplace.
Here is an article I contributed to on bullying.
What does workplace bullying look like?
Patti Wood, a human behavior expert, spoke to us about what bullying can look and sound like.
She says there are physical cues to look out for, such as a head jutting forward, teeth-baring, and space invasion. It can look like vocal intimidation, “Raising the volume of the voice, lowering the voice, speeding up or slowing down, punching certain words, or growling”.
It can also include targeted jokes, threats, humiliation, unjust criticism, and continued denial of requests without a valid reason. Workplace bullying can often be subtle and can include ‘gaslighting’, which is where a bully engages in abusive behavior but then denies it occurred. It’s important to be aware of both overt and subtle bullying behaviors to identify them.
Patti says you can identify bullying by noticing how you feel in the presence of someone else. If you feel bullied, pay attention to what the other person is saying or doing that could make you feel targeted.. A lot of workplace bullying can be subtle, so this can be a practical way for your employees to identify bullying.
Another marker employers can look out for is a change in workplace behavior. This can include increased absences, low morale, and changes in performance. There may be other reasons behind these changes, but noting them and enquiring can help managers monitor the early warning signs of workplace bullying.

PROTECTIVE POSITION' Kouri Richins’ TV interview showed red flags she was ‘hiding the truth’ about murdered husband’s death, says expert
When a journalist you work with frequently says, “When I heard about this murder Patti I immediately thought of you.” and you laugh and laugh and laugh.
Look in the comments below for the article I did with my analysis of the body language and other cues of the mom who has been accused of poisoning her husband over a year ago and wrote a children's book about grief.
Here is the video of her interview that I read for the media.
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on how she presents herself to the public in this interview. below that is my nonverbal communication read.

A Trick To Look More Confident When Your Speak
Years ago when I was teaching my nonverbal class at Florida State I consciously started using every principle to increase my confidence and look powerful.
I am 5 feet 2 and blonde so I needed some help to have any presence at all to my 150 to 200 students in dark staired seating auditorium in my nonverbal communication class. One of the power-boosting behaviors that I started doing that I use to this day is using the whole room! To this day I never stand behind a podium. I use the whole stage, and always come off the stage into the audience and go all the way to the back of the ballrooms!
I love being with my audience. I just sent my room set up for the opening speech I am giving and the client got excited that I wanted stairs to come down the front of the stage so I can easily go out into the audience! She said, she never had that request.
I love my work!
