Ever left a meeting thinking it went great… only to get ghosted?

What if I told you your client’s crossed legs were the first red flag — and you missed it?

In this episode of In the Driver’s Seat, Janine Driver (yep, that’s me — body language expert and corporate trainer to the Fortune 100) breaks down the subtle but powerful body cue that determines if a deal will close… or collapse.

Here’s the game-changing truth:
🦵 When legs cross, deals pause.
🪑 When legs open, decisions happen.

You’ll hear:

• 🧠 The neuroscience behind leg crossing — and why it shuts down logic and dopamine (your deal-making BFFs).
• 🚨 The 4 brain responses triggered by a crossed leg during high-stakes conversations.
• 💰 The $1.8M boardroom moment I nearly blew — and how I turned it around with one brain-based move.
• 🎬 Hollywood scenes that (accidentally) show this in action — from The Pursuit of Happyness to Damages.
• 🔥 5 body-based strategies to reset a stalled conversation and get things flowing again (no manipulation, just science).

Whether you’re leading a sales team, pitching to investors, hiring a new exec, or navigating a tough parenting talk — this episode gives you the keys to decode crossed legs and turn tension into traction.
