Barbara Corcoran know the importance of Body LanguageFor the past month I have been listening to Barbara on Lewis Howe's podcast - as well as her own new podcast - Business Unusual.  I have been so incredibly impressed by this woman and her non-Harvard wisdom.  

Barbara was anything but a promising young woman coming from an affluent family.  She grew up in NYC as one of 10 kids.  She was a C & D student.  Barbara did not attend some Ivy League College.

What she did and does have, however, are fine tuned observational skills.  This gave her a mighty portion of street and people smarts.  In other words - she speaks Body Language.  And this has made ALL the difference in her career. 

Today, I wanted to share her awesome wisdom.  To help you start tuning into the impact our body language makes every single moment of our lives.  Whether in business or personal settings.  Can you guess what the first 3 of her 5 tips of what to do in an interviews deal with?

Yes - Barbara Corcoran speaks about Body Language as the most important things to nail in an interview - and why.  Give it a listen.
