What a great discussion with my dear friend Joe Pine about converting customer service to a higher calling. Available on the New Books Network with my Real<>Transformations partner, @julieanixter.
An all-new Real<>Transformations/New Books Network podcast with @julieanixter discussing the playbook to using AI as the ultimate co-pilot with @bryancassady.
The Democrats sail forth from Chicago heralding a new Politics of Joy. Will it catch on, and is it authentic? Those are two separate questions, but so far the verdict is Yes and Yes. Unlike when Hubert Humphrey tried this kind of positioning in 1968 (and it flopped, following the assassination of Martin Luther King) this time it may just work. As for the authenticity, the Politics of Joy pits a candidate who shows big, full-bore smiles a lot... (1/2)
...versus a candidate in Trump who seems to suffer from anhedonia: a struggle to express pleasure. Across the two major party tickets, only Trump fails to smile broadly. Instead, disgust and anger are his forte. Stay tuned for how the debates unfold, but a big emotional contrast between Trump and Harris is about to splash across our screens in just under two weeks. (2/2)
Potential Harris VP Candidates: My governor in Minnesota shows more of a smile than Senator Kelly but has the same pinched eyebrow look, as if despite Minnesota Nice syndrome he can still be feisty.
Potential Harris VP Candidates: Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear strikes me as something of an introvert. My hunch is based on the frequency with which his mouth stretches slightly wide and tense, even when he’s smiling, as if being on camera isn’t something this politician and church deacon enjoys.
Potential Harris VP Candidates: Former astronaut and current U.S. Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona has a signature look which exudes toughness. His eyebrows pinch together, conveying a concerned, strongly-focused look. Determination is written all over his face.
Potential Harris VP Candidates: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro seems prone to strong smiles combined with a flared upper lip, which signals disgust and anger, i.e. toughness.
Had a terrific conversation with @thomastrautmann this week on his Get More! podcast. Check it out: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/s…

Degree of which we're interested in price in hearing what somebody has to say pretty well mirrors WHEN most interested in a conversation in general: early, late - and ideally there's a PEAK moment!
Some training works but a lot of it doesn't because it lacks immediate relevance. Learning from one's boss remains the ideal . . . if only they're so inclined to help you improve! Image comes from my international besteller, Emotionomics :).
For anyone who watches Shark Tank, this is Kevin O'Leary (Mr. Wonderful) data based on facial coding his expressions. Note the high amount of skepticism (sarcasm delivered with a smile) and sadness as not everyone likes his snarky approach. More in my book Famous Faces Decoded.
This list helped inspire me and Howard Moskowitz to team up with others to crowd-source our book Blah Blah Blah: A Snarky Guide to Office Lingo. See an entry you especially HATE? Or if you're in academia, what phrasing most sticks in your craw these days?
Andy Warhol used to provocatively say his goal was to become a machine, no emotion. Good luck. Here he shows sadness (downcast eyes, corner of the mouth sagging). Pretending to be bored, but actually the guy was full of curiosity and in his prime took NO vacation for a decade.
Today, Trump did his mad look - narrowed, snake eyes look, lips pressed together in indignation. Here he's sad. Mad to sad and back again: the king of toddlers. Might be the ultimate in Arrested Development!
For anybody interested in leadership and personality traits, this book's study with presidential scholars concluded that Open (Minded/Hearted) to experience best predicted success in the White House. Extraversion less so.
