more than words

Successfully navigate the business world by understanding what your manager and coworkers are really thinking. The secret is nonverbal intelligence—the ability to interpret and use nonverbal signals in business to assess and influence others. In Louder Than Words, bestselling author and behavior expert Joe Navarro shows you how to decode what's really being said at meetings, interviews, negotiations, presentations, business meals, and more, including the casual exchanges that often impact decisions and reputations. You can jump-start your career, close the deal, keep your customers, secure new ones, and lead your company with confidence once you discover how to: Read body language and discern non-verbal cues of concern, disagreement, or doubt—even over the phone Master the all-important first impression and use settings, seating, and gestures to inspire and captivate Recognize habits that send the wrong message—and learn what postures, work practices, work spaces, and even electronic habits say about people

"Broussard, a researcher and reporter whose work focuses on ethics in AI, is the perfect guide to this moment.”—Glamour Both technical and accessible, this intersectional exploration of algorithmic bias offers real solutions for making technology less harmful, from an expert data scientist. The word “glitch” implies an incidental error, as easy to patch up as it is to identify. But what if racism, sexism, and ableism aren’t just bugs in mostly functional machinery—what if they’re coded into the system itself? In the vein of heavy hitters such as Safiya Umoja Noble, Cathy O’Neil; and Ruha Benjamin, Meredith Broussard demonstrates in More Than a Glitch how neutrality in tech is a myth and why algorithms need to be held accountable. Broussard, a data scientist and one of the few Black female researchers in artificial intelligence, masterfully synthesizes concepts from computer science and sociology. She explores a range of examples, such as: • Facial recognition technology trained only to recognize lighter skin tones • Mortgage-approval algorithms that encourage discriminatory lending • The dangerous feedback loops that arise when medical diagnostic algorithms are trained on insufficiently diverse data • How technologies designed with good intentions by fallible humans develop programs that can result in devastating consequences Broussard argues that the solution isn’t to make omnipresent tech more inclusive, but to root out the algorithms that target certain demographics as “other” to begin with. With sweeping implications for fields ranging from jurisprudence to medicine, the ground-breaking insights of More Than a Glitch are essential reading for anyone invested in building a more equitable future.

Staring at the blank pages of a notebook resting on a table, you suspect more awaits. Looking at an empty drinking glass sitting on the dinner table next to an empty plate strategically placed with forks, knives, and spoons, you understand more awaits. Peering through the window of a room overrun with books, desks, and chairs, there is an expectancy that awaits. When wisdom, knowledge, and understanding are at the forefront, pages erupt with words to inspire, cups overflow to quench thirst, plates are filled to satisfy, and rooms give birth to creativity. Skills are good, and passion is great. When married to the Only One, understanding gives way to wisdom, which unlocks spaces and places hidden from the naked eye. Whether you are a trainer or trainee, this book was designed with you in mind. This book is designed to capture the imagination of the reader, harness the root of education, and cultivate it in a space that is greater than potential and more than intentional. Your team, your leaders, your students, your church, and your community are all awaiting the more that you were destined to be. Rather than jumping at the latest trend in education, you set it. Discover the breadth and depth of who you are and those around you. Then stretch into the capacity of your purpose using the tools around you to create something new and become more.
