Book Joe Navarro through The Keynote Curators
Biography
Joe Navarro is a former FBI special agent, internationally recognized expert in nonverbal communication, bestselling author, and sought-after keynote speaker. Recruited by the FBI at just 23 years old, he became one of the youngest agents to join the agency. During his distinguished 25-year career, Navarro served as both an agent and supervisor in the areas of counterintelligence and counterterrorism, where he developed an unparalleled understanding of human behavior and the subtle nonverbal signals that reveal what people think, feel, and intend.
Navarro’s success as a spy catcher led him to train fellow FBI agents and members of the intelligence community in the practical application of behavioral analysis and nonverbal communication. Since retiring from the FBI in 2003, he has worked with corporations and senior executives around the world, helping leaders communicate with greater confidence, build trust, strengthen their influence, and better understand the people around them. He is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost authorities on applying nonverbal intelligence in business.
An engaging educator known for combining science with compelling stories from his FBI career, Navarro has presented throughout the United States, South America, Europe, and Asia. He has worked with CEOs and senior leaders from major global organizations, lectured annually at Harvard Business School for a decade, and serves on the Global Advisory Board of The Libra Group, where he provides strategic guidance to its executive team and board of directors.
Navarro is the author of 14 books published in 32 languages. His works include the international number-one bestseller What Every BODY Is Saying, Be Exceptional: Master the Five Traits That Set Extraordinary People Apart, The Dictionary of Body Language, Dangerous Personalities, and Three Minutes to Doomsday. Through fascinating real-world examples and immediately useful techniques, he teaches audiences how to read behavior, recognize hidden signals, communicate more effectively, and develop the qualities that distinguish exceptional leaders.
