HOW DO YOU MAKE IT IN BUSINESS?
STOP LISTENING AND START WATCHING
Your Body at Work is a guide to seeing past the words that fill the hallways, conference rooms, and e-mails of your workplace, and to deciphering the hidden meanings that lie behind them. Through real-life examples from the world of business, and with background from the science of communication, you'll learn to sight-read colleagues and use your own body language to your best advantage. You'll find out:
* How a co-worker's hands, much more than her words, tell you how she felt about your presentation
* Why gestures at a meeting are more memorable than words
* When a shrug of the shoulders can mean the difference between "job well done" and "job could be better"
* How to train a nosy boss to back off--without uttering a single word
* What your shoes and your hair may be saying about your commitment to the job
* Why you'll find more smiley-face stickers in cubicles than in corner offices
