Body Language Expert: These Gestures Make People Dislike You Instantly - Martin Brooks

About this episode

Alberto Zandi interviews body language expert Martin Brooks about the impact of non-verbal communication on personal and professional interactions.

This week Alberto sat down with Martin Brooks, a world leading body language and communication expert who helps people use non-verbal communication to transform their professional and personal lives. Martin’s work sits at the intersection of psychology, communication, and human behaviour. He explains how body language shapes first impressions, why the body often reveals what the mouth is trying to hide, and how small changes in posture, voice, gestures, and eye contact can completely change the way others respond to you. You will learn • How to make a stronger first impression through posture, eye contact, and a genuine smile • How to look more confident by changing your internal state, not just your posture • The hand gestures that make you seem more credible, persuasive, and assertive • How to spot signs of deception, including truth slips and duping delight • How to read interest, disengagement, and power dynamics in real time, in person and on Zoom Follow Martin: https://www.instagram.com/martinbrooks1968 https://uk.linkedin.com/in/martin-brooks-94566312 https://twitter.com/impacttologist https://successthroughimpact.com #bodylanguage #communicationskills #confidence…
