5 Mistakes People Make Reading Body Language
Human beings are genetically programmed to look for facial and behavioral cues and to quickly understand their meaning.

As a species we knew how to win friends and influence people - or avoid/placate/confront those we couldn't befriend - long before we knew how to use words.

Why You Talk With Your Hands
A new study from the University of Chicago found that the more gestures babies used at 14 months (shaking a head "no," raising arms to be picked up, pointing at an object of interest, etc.), the more words they had in their vocabulary at 3√ years old.

The Silent Language of Leadership
The chief executive officer of an oil company showed up at a refinery in a designer suit and tie to discuss the firm's affairs with rank-and-file operators, electricians, and members of the warehouse staff -- dressed in their blue, fire-retardant overalls.
After being introduced and walking carefully to the front of the room, he removed his expensive wristwatch (let’s call it a Rolex) and quite visibly placed it on the lectern. The unspoken message: "I'm a very important man, I don't like comin… Continue
