432: How Tone of Voice and Body Language at Work Shape Your Message with Gina London

Your body language at work sends messages before you say a word. A flat face while you listen, a phone on the desk, a slouch in a meeting: your team reads all of it, and it can quietly undercut your intention. Former CNN correspondent Gina London shows how to match your face, posture, and appearance to the values you hold, so you communicate by design instead of by default, without feeling fake.
