7 Essential Body Language Tipsby Pete
Grand
The secrets of our body language have been around forever yet people constantly
fail to recognize the importance of using body language to their advantage. Did
you know that people only pay attention to 7% of what we say? Where does the
rest of their attention go? You guessed it right: our body language. Now let me
give my 7 BLT's so that you can use your body language much more efficiently
when interacting with people.
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.
Most
people are unaware of the way they are projecting themselves because in general,
people will detect body language signals subconsciously. Make an effort to apply
all seven of these tips and people will react differently when you are speaking
to them.
