Decoding Faces: Learn What People Can’t or Won’t Say
The 25 square inches from our eyebrows to chin have been called the most valuable real estate on earth, and for good reason. Not only our four of our five senses located there, the face signifies our gender, race, health and physical attractiveness as well as how we are feeling. During a typical social interaction, people produce on average 101 facial movements per minute—a wealth of information that the business world has to date typically failed to leverage. In this lively, informative and fun talk, Dan takes his audience through the seven emotions of happiness, surprise, anger, fear, sadness, disgust and contempt—with a special emphasis on how not every smile you see means what you may think it does. As an emotional intelligence expert, Dan explains the significance of a variety of expressions in various business situations. From leaders handling vital negotiations to salespeople trying to win a contract or managers securing nonverbal input on what their staff members are feeling and how best to motivate them, Dan’s facial coding skill provides an invaluable, unique tool everyone can use.
Trust: Is It Your Biggest Advantage or Largest Expense?
Trust has long been called “the emotion of business” and yet you couldn’t tell that from how carelessly companies often manage this vital asset on a day-by-day basis. Across all parts of a company, the ability to build, maintain and (when necessary) regain trust determines both the extent of revenue growth and employee productivity and retention. Capability & Competency; Reliability & Consistency; Caring & Reciprocity; Transparency & Honesty—those are the four pillars of trust that no company can do without. As an emotional intelligence expert, Dan takes you through unique case study examples drawn from his company’s 20+ year history of studying the emotional dynamics at work in applications ranging from M&A and re-orgs, to how a company manages to be both on-message and on-emotion in delivering speeches, sales pitches, and performance reviews. Too often, companies settle for cordial hypocrisy in making interactions feel more transactional than sincere. In this talk, Dan paints a clear picture of how a company can attain genuine trust through the practical commitments and practices it requires.
