Have you ever felt like someone was saying one thing, but their body was telling a completely different story? That’s the power of nonverbal communication.

Veronica Love Olalla, CEO of Newfield Network, discusses what we intend to say and what our bodies actually broadcast. Our bodies are the front lines of communication. It's not just about what you say, but how you say it – the tilt of your head, the flicker of your eyes, the subtle shift of your weight. These silent signals can either invite others in or build walls.

Leaders who master the art of nonverbal communication are present, empathetic, and genuinely connected. By tuning into our own bodies and the bodies of others, we can connect to those we coach and lead in different ways that empowers our human-centered coaching work.

So, the next time you find yourself in a conversation, remember: your body is speaking volumes. Are you listening?
