There is a gesture your body makes when you're stressed or overwhelmed and you're probably doing it without knowing it. And it's telling everyone in the room that you're not as confident as you want to appear.
In this episode, Sandy breaks down what the neck-touch gesture actually means, why your nervous system gives you away before you've said a word, and what FBI counterintelligence agent Joe Navarro says you should do the moment you catch yourself doing it.
You'll also hear about Andrea, a woman in a meeting Sandy noticed mid-session and the one question Sandy asked that brought her straight back into the room. No intervention. Just the right question at the right moment. That's emotional intelligence in real time.
Plus: why catching this signal in yourself is the skill that actually changes how you communicate and how to use it to show up with more confidence and a lot more presence.
Your body is already in the conversation. This episode helps you understand what it's saying.
