Synopsis

"Your Body at Work" is a guide to seeing through the words that fill the hallways, conference rooms, and emails of your workplace, and to deciphering their hidden meanings. Through real-life examples from the world of business and background from the science of communication, you will learn to sight-read your colleagues. For example: how a colleague's hand gestures, much more than her words, can tell you how she feels about your presentation; when a shrug of the shoulders can mean the difference between 'job well done' and 'job could be better'; and, how a CEO's gestures tells you, better than any annual report, about his company's bottom line. David Givens has been a consultant to some of the biggest companies in the U.S. With his experience and expertise, he helps you look past the words so you can really read your workplace.
