It’s in Your Hands: The Power of Body Language | Tal Millet | TEDxBergenCommunityCollege

Studies show that over 90% of human face-to-face interactions are accounted for by nonverbal communication, which humans are innately wired to decipher and understand. However, in spite of verbal communication playing only a marginal role, most of us focus on words and are uninformed about body language and the vital role it plays in our lives. This TEDx will open with a brief intro- duction to the science of body language. The audience will be introduced to some hands-on tools for detecting and decoding several key signals of the hands and face, as well as to strategies for enhancing their projected first impression, thereby rekindling their inborn capacity for reading body language.
Dr. Tal Millet mentors companies to help them obtain measurable and sustainable organizational goals by enhancing their nonverbal business communication skills. An attorney holding a PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology and a Master of Laws, Dr. Millet formerly served as Deputy National Public Defender of the State of Israel. Apart from teaching college level classes, Dr. Millet’s track record also includes serving as Corporate Counsel for private companies, litigating and appearing as trial counsel for the District Attorney’s Office, and serving as a legal advisor on large-scale international governmental agreements.

Bionic: "Having artificial body parts, especially electromechanical ones". Why our powers of observation, of reading the human body language are bionic and not just human?

Good talk, I noticed that her bionic back may have given her a positive body language - one in which she looks like she's relaxed on a recliner.

I can confirm that my mother is indeed in a lot of pain due to her injured spine, causing her to stand in a way that may not be aesthetically pleasing to you.

ronnie:" You should be proud of your mom. Great presentation. Tell her thanks.

What if we capture an image of the Green River Killer, Gary Leon Ridgway, genuinely smiling and an image of a grumpy, mad Jeff Parness? Could we be deceived? Moreover, what if we don't use big contrast but two slightly different people, one more likeable than the other? What the results would be?

That very Fall Friday September 23rd of 2010 seems to be a day for disaster.
My little sister was killed that afternoon by an intoxicated driver.
Don't drive under the influence.
