In this episode, you’re going to learn how to decode body language from one of the world’s leading experts on the topic.
Janine Driver has been trained by the FBI, CIA, and one of the world’s top hostage negotiators.
When a criminal case grabs our attention, every news network calls Janine to analyze body language and critical verbal cues that suspects, politicians, and celebrities are sending so we can tell when somebody is lying.
If you love True Crime, you’re going to love this episode, because it’s a masterclass from an expert who’s spent over three decades decoding body language for law enforcement agencies around the country.
She will teach you which hand gestures indicate that somebody may be lying, why you should grab your chin during a high-level meeting, why you should never shrug your shoulders if you want to be convincing, and the million-dollar question that you should ask at the end of every single interview.
If you’re dating, you’ll learn all kinds of incredible tactics, like why you should never sit directly across from someone on a first date.
This is an incredibly interesting, entertaining, and surprising take on how to build confidence and be smarter about the subconscious signals that other people are sending you all day long.
