Jane's uncanny ability to read the nuances of others' body language enables him to uncover clues that the CBI agents completely overlook. Our eyes, face, gestures, posture, appearance, and voice reveal more about us than we imagine. An awareness of your own body behavior--and that of others--will help you to become a more effective communicator.
