S9E12: The Body Language of TRUST

Body language, or non-verbal communication, plays a major role in building trust. That’s why the component of intimacy accelerates positivity. As long as our body language is consistent with the words we use, people trust us. On the opposite side, as Albert Mehrabian said in his 1971 book Silent Messages, “When our words contradict the silent messages contained within them, others mistrust what we say.” So, it could accelerate trust but also prevent trust.

This episode is one of those episodes in which I bring a guest who know and who cares. Today, I have Melinda Marcus, an expert and consultant on influence and nonverbal communication. We will talk about how much control we have over our body language and how good are we at interpreting it. We will talk about the relationship between working remotely, body language, and, of course, trust. We are going to have a great conversation about body language and trust. (as well as other things).
