| 0:00.0 | When I do these seminars, a lot of times people ask me about body language because they understand that body language allows you to get a better understanding of what the other person is feeling and thinking even if they don't say it. |
| 0:11.6 | But if you are going to try and learn more about body language and use it, there's something really, really, really important you need to know. |
| 0:18.7 | A lot of times we get body signals and it is in isolation. |
| 0:22.8 | So, for instance, somebody might squint their eyes and that's it. In those instances, you can't |
| 0:28.1 | really read anything from it because you haven't received enough data. In the world of counterintelligence, |
| 0:33.2 | the spies who write these books on body language, they say you need to look for clusters. And these |
| 0:38.6 | are instances where you have one or two signals from the person's body language in response to |
| 0:44.8 | something that you said. And then you are able to come to some conclusions. And then you use that, |
| 0:50.3 | not as a signal of truth or falsehood, but you use that as a signal that something needs |
| 0:55.5 | further investigation. And that is your quick tip of the day. I'll catch you in the next one. |
