Let\\u2019s talk a bit about deception.\\xa0 I don\\u2019t need to say it here, but I will.\\xa0 Deception is wrong and does trigger incongruence.\\xa0 On the flip the side the challenge you could have is that when you get nervous or uneasy you might be showing signs or deception.\\xa0 What I am saying here is that even if you are telling the truth and think you are congruent, you might be sending signals of incongruency and deception.\\xa0 The audience can\\u2019t always identify exactly what is making them distrustful, but they feel that way and that is all that matters to them.\\xa0 What happens is we all have micro expressions that happen so rapidly the conscious mind can\\u2019t see them, but the subconscious can sense them.\\xa0 These are quick mannerisms in the face that reveal deception or nervousness.\\xa0 Another one that causes an increase in their deception radar is a disconnect between your emotion and your reaction.\\xa0 For example if you make an angry face, then hit the table with your hand 5 seconds later, that would be an obvious red flag you are not feeling that emotion.\\xa0 Careful that you are congruent with every aspect of your message.

Everyone can pick up on your nonverbal behavior.\\xa0 We sense something is not quite right.\\xa0 Others will sense when there is any form of incongruence or deception radiating from you.\\xa0 Be aware that many of your nonverbal behaviors that you are currently doing will trigger incongruence.\\xa0 It might be a natural part of your behavior, but it could look like deception.\\xa0 Things that could trigger deception:
