75. Behavior Is Data, Not a Verdict
About this episode
Josh and Charlie discuss how to interpret behavior as data rather than judgments, focusing on detecting lies and understanding underlying motivations.
In this week's episode of The Language of Behavior , Josh and Charlie dive into the question of how to tell when someone is lying. They explain why there is no perfect tell, why body language alone can be misleading, and why the most helpful approach is to look for clusters of behavior that deviate from a person’s baseline. The conversation explores eye movement, stress responses, confirmation bias, and the importance of asking more questions instead of jumping to conclusions. Josh and Charlie remind listeners that behavior is data, not a verdict, and that curiosity is a better tool than judgment when trying to understand what is really happening underneath the surface. -- FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudy Bulk Book Discount: https://www.connectedd.org/bulk-orders Do you have any questions for the podcast?
