Have you ever wondered how much of your communication happens without saying a word? In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Blake Eastman, founder of The Nonverbal Group, behavioral researcher, former professional poker player, and absolute genius in understanding human behavior.
Blake has a unique talent for unpacking the nuances of human interactions, helping you not just become a better entrepreneur but also a more connected and effective leader.
Together, we explore how nonverbal communication can transform the way you build trust, close sales, and lead with confidence. Plus, Blake reveals the biggest complaint employees have about their bosses—and how to fix it.
This conversation goes beyond body language—it’s about stepping into your most aligned, impactful self in every interaction, whether on a webinar, in a virtual team meeting, or during a sales call.
