Focusing on the power of nonverbal behavior, prejudice and stereotyping, the delicate balance of trustworthiness and strength, and the ways in which people can affect their own thoughts, feelings, performance, and psychological and physical-being, she writes and speaks about how we can become more present, influential, compassionate, and satisfied in our professional and personal lives.
