#MeetCoolPeople MCP005 - Decode Facial Features w/ Brian Galke
Brian Galke is an expert in decoding facial features and using them to enhance communication and connections with others. He has a deep passion for understanding people and helping them build better relationships.
In this episode, Brian starts off by sharing an interesting tip on how to learn more about someone. He suggests asking them about their next vacation plans, as it reveals their interests and priorities. This simple question can open up a world of understanding about a person.
Brian also talks about his work in physiognomy, the interpretation of facial features to gain insights into a person's character. He has a cheat sheet available for download on his website, subtleskills.com, for those who want to learn more. He also gives a sneak peek into his upcoming book series on face reading that covers basic, intermediate, and advanced levels.
Throughout the conversation, Brian and I discussed the importance of face-to-face communication in a technology-driven world. We highlight the significance of tailoring our communication based on the preferences of others, such as taking into account their eyebrow type. Brian explains that straight eyebrows prefer facts and details, angled eyebrows focus on angles and perspectives, and rounded eyebrows prioritize others' needs first.
As an Introverted/Extrovert, Brian purposely chose professions where people came to him for help (Retail, Hospitality, & Help Desk) to help ease his social anxiety.
Over the course of his career he realized he loved to learn new skills (tips and tricks) to better interact with people, and he always sought out the knowledge. With every new social skill, another promotion soon followed. He was onto something…maybe success starts with good communication skills.
The #1 skill that changed his Personal & Professional life forever was learning to Decode Facial Features.
