You need to be fully in tune with every movement and every gesture to grasp the meaning of what is going on.  There are glances, subconscious noises and movements that you don’t even notice that tell others exactly what you’re thinking. Here are some of the basics for learning to read body language that can give you the upper hand when influencing. 

Knowing your influence potential is a great asset because it gives you a heads-up or benchmark of what you’re doing right (your strengths) and what isn’t working out (your challenges). It gives you instant access to self-knowledge which is the start of being a powerful, effective, and influential person.
