When I graduated from high school in 1982, my Dad - Jack Hart - who you met in an earlier episode of the podcast, sat me down and offered me 5 nuggets of wisdom.   These were things he probably assumed I would forget by the next day.   I didn't. I wrote them down, and these pearls have stuck with me my entire life, and they are my personal mission statement.   I fall short much of the time in these areas, but I will never forget them, and my gift to you now is that I am sharing this wisdom - his wisdom, with you.   Enjoy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fromthehart/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fromthehart/support

Blanca Cobb, M.S. Psy, Body Language Expert & Media Personality How can you spot a liar?   How do you when someone is interested in you? How can you tell when someone is angry, happy, or confused under that mask? How can you learn to interpret unspoken messages even more powerfully and accurately, at times, than what we hear? Blanca Cobb has been a people watcher since she was a little girl. From a distance, she’d watch people to get a sense of who was friendly, trustworthy, and approachable. She learned early on that people try to hide what they feel. But, if you pay close attention to the way they move their bodies and react in situations, they can’t hide their feelings. They unknowingly reveal who they are. This is the power of body language. Silent messages are more credible than spoken words. If you know what to look for and how to respond to body language, then you can connect with anyone. And in business and in life, this is your ticket to happiness, success, and peace. Blanca has appeared with such TV show hosts as Steve Harvey, Dr. Oz, Megyn Kelly, and countless more.   Now you can hear here on today's episode of the From The Hart podcast.   #bodylanguage #nonverbalcommunication #fromtheheart #fromthehart #blancacobb #edhart #csuf #familybusiness #steveharvey --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fromthehart/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fromthehart/support
