Do you know the body language cues that can help you determine whether or not you are reaching your audience? As a motivated professional, do you spend hours reading and taking training to get ahead in your career? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may benefit from a Thursday, Nov. 19 session with Janine Driver, NBC Today contributor and author of The Master of Success.
