What Your Face Reveals Before You Speak

*How to Read Minds Without Saying a Word*

In this episode of Speaking With Authority, host Jim Koetting sits down with Roxani Oikonomou, an international expert in nonverbal communication, micro-expressions, and emotional intelligence.

Roxy reveals the hidden language of humans—how our faces, gestures, and subtle expressions reveal far more than words ever could.

You’ll learn:

How to turn fear into confidence on stage and in life.

What happens when your mind goes blank and how to recover in seconds.

Why today’s generation is losing emotional awareness because of screens.

How leaders, parents, and teachers can rebuild psychological safety through empathy and micro-awareness.

Whether you’re a speaker, leader, parent, or entrepreneur, this conversation will help you recognize what others feel before they say a word—and lead with greater empathy, confidence, and connection.
