When was the last time you paid attention to your body language in a meeting? We often focus so much on what we say that we overlook the signals we send every moment.

“The most powerful theater is when the actors aren’t actually talking,” says Shoshana Simons, a drama therapist by training and former Chair of the Expressive Arts Therapy program at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). With two decades of experience, Shoshana helps individuals master the unspoken dynamics that shape our interactions.

From building rapport and enhancing teamwork to navigating conflict and negotiations, non-verbal communication is key to career success. In this episode, Shoshana joins neurobiology expert Rajkumari Neogy to explore the power of body language, posture, gestures, and tone in the workplace. Drawing from real-life scenarios, they offer actionable tips you can apply right away—plus what to avoid as you become more aware of how you’re showing up.
