Facilitators and "Limbic Leaks" 

meeting All facilitators know how important it is to continually pick up a group's non-verbal cues. Yet how many subtle messages do we miss?

 

Joe Navarro, ex-FBI Special Agent, provides the concept of "limbic leaks." These are messages that come straight from the subconscious and speak as loudly as words. 

 

The next time you lead a meeting, watch for these limbic leaks. They indicate signs of discomfort:

 

  • Covering the neck dimple, including fiddling with buttons or shirt collar.
  • Eye blocking; covering the eyes.
  • Neck, cheek or face touching.
  • Fingers interlacing to run up and down.

 

If you see these messages, what should you do? Is it necessary to intervene? This article will help you decide.
