Body language is not just how we hold and move our bodies…it
also encompasses:- How we position our bodies when sitting, standing, leaning…
- Our closeness to others, the space between others, and us and how it changes
- Our facial expressions
- Our eyes especially and how we move and focus them (are you an “eye-roller”???)
- How we touch others and ourselves in a conversation
- How our bodies connect with things like pens, cigarettes, spectacles, clothing, furniture, etc.
- Our breathing, our heartbeats and perspiration
- Our voices…very important! The pace, pitch, volume, variation, pauses, intonation…
Body
Language is especially crucial when you’re meeting someone for the first time!
We form our opinions of someone we meet for the first time in just a few
seconds, and this initial instinctual assessment is based much more on what we
see and feel about the other person than on the words they speak! On
many occasions we form a strong view about someone before they can speak even a
single word! And remember…this works both ways!
When you
understand the importance of body language – you have a gift that will give you
a significant advantage in life – professionally and personally!
Body
Language is a powerful concept that successful people tend to understand very
