259: Master Nonverbal Leadership with Insights from the Poker Table. Blake Eastman

Do you realize how much your body language influences the way others perceive you as a leader?  In this week’s episode of Speak Like a CEO, Oliver Aust sits down with Blake Eastman, founder of The Nonverbal Group and School of Cards. As a former professional poker player, Blake mastered reading body language and high-stakes decision-making at the poker table.  He now applies these skills to help top executives and elite teams enhance their nonverbal communication – even though he is the first to admit that different games are played at the poker table and in the boardroom.  Blake reveals how the smallest facial expressions, gestures, and tones of voice can either amplify or detract from the message you’re trying to convey.  Through his research and years of coaching, Blake emphasizes the power of alignment between what you say and how you say it.  Listeners will learn practical strategies for improving their own nonverbal communication, building trust, and communicating more authentically during virtual meetings.  By the end of the episode, you’ll walk away with tools to build your leadership presence and communicate with confidence—without saying a word.
