The 90-Minute Plan

Baseline Behavior0–15 min

Learn that everyone has different normal behavior. Establish baseline before interpreting changes.

Micro-Expressions15–35 min

Study the 7 universal emotions and their facial micro-expressions (≤1/25th second flashes).

Posture & Proximity35–55 min

Understand what crossing arms, leaning in, or stepping back indicates. Context matters greatly.

Eye Contact & Gaze55–75 min

Learn what eyes reveal: interest, doubt, dishonesty. But remember cultural differences matter.

Practice Observation75–90 min

Watch a conversation with sound off. Note body language cues. Then watch with sound. Check accuracy.

Pro Tip

Never interpret a single cue. Look for clusters of behaviors. Context always matters most.
