Thanks to COVID-19 we humans are now all trying to work out how to build relationships via tools like Zoom. But the real winners will be those that understand the new nuances of body language that appraisals and other meetings via electronic methods.
Allan Pease is a body language expert with an extensive career spanning over 50 years with a swag of media appearances including Kerri-Anne Kennerley and the Ray Martin Show.

In it, Allan shares his secrets to mastering the cues and techniques to win at the Zoom meeting, no matter who it happens to be with.
“In four minutes. We’ve decided whether we’re going to give that person the nod or the flick regardless of what they say. And we do this with everybody, whether we realise it or not…”
In this episode we discuss:
- Why the right presence (background, dress, sound) in video in Zoom meetings and conferences is crucial
- What facial cues you should be practising to build trust in you and your pitch
- What the ability to stare at someone on video means for lingering impressions
- What to do in the first four minutes of meeting someone on video – and why they are critical
- How to calm yourself down when feeling nerves and make the other person think you have it completely together (even if you don’t!)
- What to do if someone looks distracted – how to bring their attention back to you
- How your own body language can impact your demeanour and how to feel more confident in an uncertain situation.
