The Human Lie Detector – How to Read People & Make Smarter Business Decisions

In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Joseph McGuire, founder of Clearsight Communications and author of FaceFacts. Known as “The Human Lie Detector”, Joseph shares practical ways leaders can decode body language, facial expressions and subtle nonverbal cues to make smarter decisions in negotiation, hiring and cross-cultural leadership.

What we cover

Why silence is a powerful tool in interviews and negotiations — and how to use it without aggression.
The overlooked cost of poor executive hiring and the signals interviewers miss.
Intentional listening vs “active listening”: noticing tone, rhythm, and what’s not said.
Red-flag tells (e.g., lip-chewing, spiking blink rate) and how to revisit a hotspot without accusation.
Cross-cultural communication cues and why preparation matters.
Open, trust-building body language (hands visible, palms up; don’t “point” with a finger).
