I agree, not the greatest presenter in the world but this is truly fascinating stuff. I know what she's talking about and it's absolutely true that if you are aware of it you can communicate, connect, and identify with people way more easily.

Be in silent brought me a lot of sabiduría , hablar mucho aveces me trae problemas más con las personas que son tan cerradas o ignorantes ; pero todos somos ignorantes en ciertas áreas va , así que mejor quedarte en silencio guardar tus comentarios aunque no me guarde este .

Good stuff, Dr. Chris. I am also a fan of "Lie to Me" and its main character, and very interested in understanding what I read in peoples' facial expressions. You have increased my clarity, and I truly appreciate that. And I really enjoyed your analysis of Obama - it helped me understand why I appreciate so much about him = I tend to employ the same life strategies. Hmmmm ...

How interesting!!

This was awesome! I loved the jokes too.

:(, we knew this already didn't we? My parents decided to neglect non verbal information. This woman does the same and probably thats why she is so enthusiastic about it. Further more it looks very american. Smooth every thing out.

it was lack of lighting that effect strongly what she had present on the TED stage. Poor light impact less enthusiasm from audiance. but still great lesson from Dr. Chris.

I came to get information and I didn't gather any at all

Would somebody please fuckin laugh!!! Jesus shes trying to engage you for fuck sake! Tim Roth is a good actor and Lie To Me is a great show, hahahaha

@yutyuiiu there is this theory, that a lot of psychologists choose their profession, because they subconciously feel that they need psychological help and that the information they gain by studying it could help treating themselves. Usually they are not aware of it. Considering this, I think it is plausible, that her interest for verbal and non-verbal communication comes from her subconcious need for improvement in this field.

Quite ironic that she is presenting information correlating with communication and how to effectively change situations in a positive manner, yet she bores me to death. x.x

5min in.. and i'm falling asleep. Can anybody that enjoyed this and listened to it all, give a brief summary?

+boliussa lol, i"m halfway through and I can't go on.... she talks a lot a lot, but I'm still not learning anything,,, she keeps promising, I keep waiting... but she moves on to another topic.... this is an awful lecture.....

I was more focused on trying to figure out her accent than anything else :P It's like half-British, half-American.

Do you have ADD? Some things require deeper concentration to understand.

Why didn't anyone tell her she was standing on the opposite side of the spot light? Ironic that she's talking about nonverbal communication but she's standing in the dark so no one can see her.

👍

The information presented is interesting. A little more emotion during the presentation would have been better.

I like what she has to say...she's basically suggesting that people use NLP methods. BUT, I have a strong feeling that she probably projects her own emotions onto others a LOT. Obama is angry...LOL...he's one of the most relaxed presidents ever in the history of the world. He occasionally scowls...ok. She strikes me as INFP - most INFPs spend their entire day projecting their emotions onto others and erroneously judging those people... She has very strong Fi.

Tough crowd

did not grab me in the first minute. i left.

Trying to understand human communication as greater than vocabulary is one thing, but developing a discourse based on antropometric values and setting it as the only true is a dangerous way to increase human hate based on differences. Lets remember here nazism where arians were the only pure and dignified human beings. This lecture seems to me absolutely shallow and, again, dangerous, without not much to offer for human communications, instead, direction possible wrong judgments. The discourse was the same that US is trying to make the world swallow, and she keeps using the pictures of arabic people to reinforce how evil the others, who doesn't fit the pattern of the american standards can be. Hope people have a critical view enough to see it.

It's such a shame that this speaker had not learned her own material in presenting it to others. Her non verbal "skills" were absent in terms of reaching the listener/watcher. It's actually amazingly ironic.

content could be great,but rambling and unfocused Ironically she seems to have some verbal ticks , that she might not be aware of

Cool accent...

Can't believe that this lady thinks Obama doesn't have people teaching him about facial indicators.

pretty ordinary talk on an interesting topic.

Despite holding a doctorate and being there to talk about non verbal communication, Dr Chris Shea was so disappointing in her presentation.She lacked enthusiasm or even any kind of interest while she addressed the educated crowd.A thumbs down for her

Poor... bad presentation skill...

That was probably one of the worst TED Talks I've ever seen. The lighting and the camera movement is awful, and the slideshow she made looked like it only took a couple of minutes. Worst of all was her lecture. She had an interesting idea that if we can be conscious of how we think, we can use that to see how other people are thinking. However, she never went on to how to properly do that, and then she would provide evidence to a hypothesis that she hasn't even proclaimed. It ended up being confusing and boring to follow, and it just made me drone out in the first five minutes of it.
