Steven’s insights on body language in job interviews were eye-opening for our viewers. He made complex behavior cues simple, practical, and even fun. A fantastic guest, and we’d love to have him back!

The Human Whisperer is extremely useful for ANYONE -- parents, business owners, team leads, teachers ... ok, if you talk to people, you need this. The non-verbal cueing techniques alone paid immediate dividends.
