JOE NAVARRO

For 25 years, Joe Navarro worked as an FBI special agent in the area of counterintelligence and behavioral assessment. A founding member of the National Security Division’s Behavioral Analysis Program, he is on the adjunct faculty at Saint Leo University, the Institute for Intergovernmental Research, and remains a consultant to the intelligence community. He has appeared on Fox News, ABC News, NBC’s Today Show, the CBS Early Show, CNN, Hardball with Chris Matthews, and NPR Radio, as well as other media outlets, on topics as varied as interviewing, terrorism, and body language.

As one of the leading experts in the world on nonverbal communication, he has shared his unique knowledge of human behavior with the intelligence community as well as the medical professions, banking institutions, and the insurance industry world wide. A much sought after lecturer, Navarro brings together his academic background, scientific research, and practical experience catching spies to the art of observing and interpreting human behavior. Through his lectures, audiences gain valuable insights, based on the latest research, in order to effectively recognize and decipher non-verbal communications. These skills enhance interpersonal communication, increase confidence, engender greater trust, as well as elevate understanding of this universal language.  

In his most recent book, What Every BODY is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent’s Guide to Speed-Reading People, Navarro demonstrates how to modify one’s subconscious statements to the greatest advantage and also read what other people are “saying” nonverbally. These skills will increase the ability to accurately assess moods, decode behaviors, anticipate problems, avoid hidden pitfalls, influence negotiations, and understand the secret motivations of others.

Praise for What Every BODY is Saying:

“A masterful work on nonverbal body language by an exceptional observer. Joe Navarro’s work has been field-tested in the crucible of law enforcement at the highest levels within the FBI. I cannot praise the book enough.”
