Vanessa Van Edwards says teachers and coaches can spot confusion instantly by reading facial micro-expressions, those involuntary flickers that show up before someone speaks. Catching them lets you adjust your explanation on the fly so ideas actually land.
If you're a teacher or a coach or consultant and you're trying to help people, you're trying to empower them, if you read facial expressions, you can immediately spot the confusion, the hangups where someone understands or doesn't understand something. And so if you're ever trying to present your ideas or empower people or help people, microexpressions can help you transmit your ideas and make sure that they're adopted a lot better.
