“In my global business dealings, I’ve seen negoti<strong>at</strong>ions fall apart when<br />

people gave the wrong signals <strong>and</strong> didn’t respect cultural differences.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Nonverbal</strong> <strong>Advantage</strong> should be required reading for anyone in<br />

sales or negoti<strong>at</strong>ions—especially if they work intern<strong>at</strong>ionally.”<br />

— Kimberly Benson, Vice President, Cange Intern<strong>at</strong>ional, Inc.<br />

“In a brave new world brimming with discovery <strong>and</strong> invention, we must<br />

remember to upd<strong>at</strong>e our existing human-insights skill set. Now is the<br />

time to renew your toolbox by including knowledge <strong>of</strong> the nonverbal<br />

cues th<strong>at</strong> will take center stage in business <strong>and</strong> in life. <strong>Carol</strong> <strong>Kinsey</strong><br />

<strong>Goman</strong>’s book is a timely read indeed.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong> <strong>Nonverbal</strong> <strong>Advantage</strong> is a fresh look <strong>at</strong> employee communic<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

management <strong>and</strong> the more subtle, but nevertheless important, cues<br />

<strong>of</strong> body language. <strong>Goman</strong>’s analysis <strong>of</strong> interpersonal communic<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

techniques, signals, <strong>and</strong> behaviors suggests th<strong>at</strong> nonverbal signals are<br />

more important in underst<strong>and</strong>ing human behavior than words alone—<br />

the nonverbal ‘channels’ seem to be more powerful than wh<strong>at</strong> people<br />

say. She is pointing the way for managers <strong>at</strong> all levels.”<br />

“In the second half <strong>of</strong> my thirty-three-year career in law enforcement,<br />

my interview ability <strong>and</strong> success took a definite upswing after taking<br />

training th<strong>at</strong> addressed not only verbal deception but also nonverbal<br />

behavior. <strong>Carol</strong>’s book takes many <strong>of</strong> the things I learned about body<br />

language <strong>and</strong> puts them in a form th<strong>at</strong> any manager or business<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional can use.”<br />
