Episode 46 – The Body Never Lies

With Joseph McGuire

About this episode

In Episode 46, we welcome Joseph McGuire, an expert in the ancient Chinese art of Face Reading (Mien Shiang) and body language. With nearly 40 years of experience, Joseph has helped professionals across industries, from healthcare to corporate C-suite roles, understand the silent language of body and facial expressions to enhance communication, negotiation, and relationship-building. In this conversation, Joseph explores the connection between the body, spirit, and identity—guiding listeners to tune into their physical and spiritual selves for deeper understanding and fulfillment.

About Joseph Maguire

Since 1985, Joseph has trained healthcare professionals, C-suite executives, and sales teams in body language and Face Reading, using these skills as powerful diagnostic and communication tools. With expertise spanning negotiation, executive profiling, and recruitment, he’s known for offering clients insight into how they’re perceived and how to better read candidates, competitors, and colleagues. He is also the author of Face Facts: The Art of Reading Your Clients and Prospects for Sales, Negotiation, and Recruitment.

Joseph’s deep understanding of the human connection through non-verbal cues and body language provides corporate leaders with essential tools to enhance their impact, communication skills, and strategic decisions.

Episode Takeaways

Joseph’s career progression is marked by an ironic and counterintuitive shift. While it’s more common to find people in corporate roles who yearn to transition towards more holistic careers, Joseph’s journey took the opposite path. He began with his true vocation as a hands-on healer, only to be forced by burnout to pivot towards corporate work. This progression highlights that even the most aligned vocations can lead to exhaustion, prompting unexpected career changes. Joseph went through a real identity crisis as a result, and he successfully transmuted all his knowledge and wisdom from his years of experience as a healer into a much needed gift that he delivers where it is deeply needed: the heart of corporate. 

  • The “Great Everywhere Spirit”: Recognizing the universe as a loving, interconnected whole, where science and spirit are unified, and life mirrors our inner state.
  • The body as teacher: The body holds insights into our challenges and gifts. By tuning in and connecting, we can access knowledge and simplify our lives.
  • From holistic to corporate: Joseph’s career transition from the healing arts to corporate profiling, after facing physical and emotional burnout.
  • Face profiling in business: how face reading supports the understanding of different perspectives, cultures, and helps foster trust and connection in corporate settings.
  • Advice to deal with corporate pressure: Key advice on body language, presence, and using the power of the heart to transmute challenging interactions.

Ready to Unlock Your Body’s Wisdom? 

If you’re feeling spiritually and physically disconnected in the corporate world, Joseph’s insights will help you explore new dimensions of self-awareness and communication. Learn to “read” others instinctively and apply these lessons to improve your interactions and decision-making.

About Edel

“Living from your Truth- That’s it! Now let’s get to work! I’ve been seeking this Truth within myself and the concept, while simple, is not easy, but it is most empowering and freeing once experienced, integrated and embodied. I’ve taken many healing pathways, trained in psycho spiritual shadow work, somatics, bodywork and energy work for over 30years.As we are made up of all of these, I work as a weaver through the patterning laid down by our restrictive conditioning and guide you to experience living in your truth.”

I Know Now Where I Want To Go

Hello everyone! I have followed a 3 months program with Julie and I can say without any doubt that it was my best decision.

I wasn’t sure at the beginning if I really needed professional help to deal with questions/problems in my life. Like, I think, a lot of people, I blamed myself for not being able to find solutions and understand what I really want to do and felt very ashamed that I couldn’t deal with it by myself. One day I started to think that I had at least to try to work with a professional coach and that it’s better to regret something I tried rather than regretting not trying anything. After a couple of months, I met Julie at a women networking meeting and her words about her job touched my soul. I realised that I must take the first session and see where it will go and how I will feel. Maybe it will sound strange for someone but after our first session, I cried and realised that if I do nothing and don’t try at least 1 part of the course I will regret and then it will be too late.

I like that Julie proposes the option to do, at the beginning, only 1/3 of the whole course so you have an opportunity to check does it work for you? and are you going to continue? without having to pay for the whole course upfront. So it’s not a big risk. Now, after all our sessions together, I can say that I know where I want to go and what to do, I know myself much better than before, I am still working on a lot of things (it’s normal) but I did a huge job and without Julie, her rare skill of “feeling” you, understanding your problems and knowing which exercises or approach will help you, I wouldn’t be at the place where I am now.I hope that my feedback will help someone to make this “not so easy” decision and let a professional help you!”

Julie’s Approach is Different and Holistic

Julie’s approach is very different and holistic, taking into account energy and personality which was the first time for me in a career coaching program. The result was just amazing, she helped me discover my values, desires as well as my strengths and areas of improvement, and my motivation to pursue what really matters to me grew every sessions, leading me to find and obtain a new job that ticked all the boxes discussed together. I am so grateful for this career coaching journey. I would absolutely recommend if you are looking for a change, the right change and are a bit lost.”
