Impact Makers Podcast With Jennifer Mcclure

Today on the podcast, I’m chatting with Derik Clark, a human resources leader and recently retired Army counterintelligence agent who has a passion for teaching others about the power of nonverbal communication.  Derik is a US Army veteran with 22 years of service, who specialized in counterintelligence investigations and intelligence informant operations.  Through those responsibilities, he became a subject matter expert in body language assessments and high-stakes interviewing in threatening environments, and he’s taught those skills to thousands of US soldiers in both the official Army counterintelligence school, as well as in live environment military operations. Derik founded Bodysights body language training to help leaders and organizations to notice key nonverbals during interviews, client interactions, investigations, performance reviews, and negotiations. In our discussion today, we’ll talk about the importance of reading and understanding body language and the impact it can have in various contexts
