Body Language

7 Body Language Tips that will help you when you’re interacting. Leave a lasting positive impression.

1- Always look at someone directly in their eyes when they
are speaking to you. This may seem difficult at first but
it’s definitely the #1 body language ingredient to make
you successful when interacting with others. Note: Do
not ever stare at someone.

2- Always stand up straight. You never want to slouch.
Not only does this make you appear shorter but it
projects an image of someone who has low self-esteem.

3- Smile. Smiling is your most powerful body language
signal. Though it is not recommended to smile
constantly (people will be under the impression you are
searching for approval), you should still make an effort
to appear happy and optimistic.

4- Do not make repeated, nervous like gestures. When
speaking to someone it’s important to use body
movements but never fast and repetitive ones (picture
someone who is nervous while public speaking; this is
exactly what you're NOT aiming for).

5- Create your own personal space. Make sure you let
others know you have your own personal space and do
not let them walk all over you. Note: you never want to
invade someone else’s personal space.

6- Dedicate all of your attention to the person you are
speaking with. Do not constantly look around as if you
are uncomfortable or not interested.

7- Make sure to emphasize all of these tips when you meet
someone new. First impressions count for a lot. You
want to make the best impression you can.
