Here is the Most Intelligent thing I have ever Seen About Body language
Posted by TJ Walker in Body Language, Communications on March 1, 2011
Perhaps no other field has as much nonsense said about it as body language. This video clears up the most commons areas of BS. The only thing I hate about this video is that I didn’t make it!
New Study: Wearing Glasses Will Help You Get a Job. Really?
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Body Language on January 4, 2011
A new study from Lancaster University purports to show that wearing glasses will help you get a job because people will think you are smarter. This is utter nonsense.
The harder it is for people to see your eyes, the harder it is for them to trust you. That’s the problem with glasses; they can cast shadows on your eyes and make it harder for people to see directly into your eyes.

Posted by TJ Walker in Body Language, Presentation Skills Training, Professional Speakers, Public Speaking Skills, tip of the day on November 5, 2010
This is what you don’t want to do with your hands during a speech or a media interview, unless you want to look like a pompous a@$ like this guy! I see clients do this all the time and it makes them look artificial and phony. 
Worst public speaking invention of the last 20 years – the Thumb Smash
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Body Language, celebrities, Presentation Skills Training, Public Speaking Skills on November 2, 2010
I think the Bill Clinton is one of the two top public speakers in the world today (the other being Tony Blair), but he picked up this odd way of smashing his thumb on top of his giners when making a strong point. Bill, stop doing this! It looks phony and unnatural. I’ve never seen anyone in real life making this gesture unless they were holding a remote control. I’m told he does this because some consultant told him people would be offended if he were seen pointing a finger. This is nonsense. Audiences relate to speakers who move their hands and bodies in completely natural ways.
Don’t I look stupid here with the Clinton-invisible-remote-control-thumb smash pose?
