Body Language in Meetings
Communication occurs constantly in a meeting. Not many
people are involved in speaking, but almost everyone (if
not everyone) would exhibit body language signals that
divulge what they are actually feeling inside.
If you are the leader of the meeting, it is important to
know if the attendees are interested in what you are
saying, or if they agree with your ideas. Early
detection of boredom or disagreement is crucial in order
for you to change your approach or present a different
proposal when necessary.
When you
see most of the attendees reclining back in their chairs
or just staring blankly without blinking an eye, it
likely means they are not interested in the topic being
discussed. Do not prolong the discussion or do something
that will break the monotony.
When the attendees nod constantly, it means they
are agreeing with what you are saying.
When the attendees cross their arms, touch their nose or
mouth, sit back, and worse, shake their heads, they
oppose your ideas. Time to think of some countermeasures
to neutralize the situation.
When an attendee breathes deeply, it probably means that
he wants to interrupt the conversation and express his
point of views.
Observe also other body gestures, such as:
�
Changing the intonation of the voice.
�
Frowning.
�
Looking down at the ground
�
Drumming fingers in the table.
�
Exiting the meeting room.
You need to detect the inner feelings of each attendee and bear in mind how this can affect the reaction of the other attendees. If the topic being discussed becomes �too hot to handle,� it might be better to re-schedule the meeting at another time. Some emotional people can exhibit great facial expressions and body gestures. Recognizing them early in the meeting can prevent any undesirable emotional outbreak to occur.
Body Language in Flirting
Male and female courtship signals have been studied, and the basic
conclusions are that these signals are completely unconscious. The
more you consciously understand the signals, the better and more
successful you will be when courting the object of your desire,
whether it is the man or woman of your dreams.
To master the art of successful flirting, you have to feel
good about yourself first. Be confident. Be yourself, or else you
will look deceitful or desperate. Flirting can be utilized in just
about anything, not just in attracting the opposite sex, but also in
attaining just about anything you want in your life. This can be
described as good flirting. Good flirting should be done with a
precise understanding of what you really want, coupled with positive
sensations.
I have interviewed a number of successful men and women in the field
of network marketing and advertising in their 30s and 40s. Here are
their tips on how you can put good flirting to your advantage:
1.
Don�t worry about whether you are making a good impression or not.
Instead, analyze how you can make the other person feel good. By
doing this, you will get the feedback you are expecting. Soon you
will make the connection.
2.
Flirting can help you make friends or impress a client if you make
yourself approachable. Put a smile on your face, as it gives you an
aura of being friendly.
3.
Remember that you cannot attract people just by sitting or standing
like a statue. There will be instances when you will encounter a
person who gets a little bit too close for comfort feel, or someone
who makes you feel you are already invading privacy. No matter what
you do, you would get a so-called �vacuum� reaction. Tough one, huh?
You can avoid this by using gentle moves and by calibrating the
persons reactions to you. Be aware of these signals: mouths get
larger, the lips swell, eyes widen, pupils dilate, skin flushes and
changes color, muscles around the mouth move, among others.
4.
Be persistent. Flirting works best when you are patient. By being
such, you will have room for improvement if at first you aren't
getting the results you want. If you fail the first time, do it
again the second time, third time, just keep trying. Try different
approaches until you realize what will really work best for you. If
you were rejected, don't give up. This goes with the sayings, �To
err is human� and
�Nobody's perfect.�
5.
This is probably for
democratic pac donald guru
donald properties
donation america me the most interesting and somehow funniest
tip I got: �Practice in the mirror, only then can you make it
perfect!� This is especially true in meeting friends
and prospects, because flirting may involve unwanted actions and
attention which can put you in the bad light. You may be spontaneous
in your actions, but you cant guard yourself if you are already
overdoing it, and I supposed you don't want to be in that situation.
Try practicing with your close friends and ask for feedback.
6.
Make the first move! Opportunities knock only once, so if you want
something or even someone, go for it, now! Let go of your
inhibitions. But remember to apply positive or good flirting. Who
knows if the person you meet at that moment is your gateway towards
the fulfillment of your dreams.
Let Your Body Attract
Do you know why some
people seem to have an easier time attracting the opposite sex?
Here's what you can to do in order to catch the eye of your Honey
Bunch.
1.
Smile sincerely and frequently. In his article �The Six Don Juan
Commandments of Body Language,� Allen Thompson wrote that smiling is
�The simplest, most obvious, and most powerful of the body language
commandments.� He also mentions that �Smiling conveys, both
instantly and clearly, many wonderful things about yourself. Smiling
demonstrates confidence, friendliness, a positive attitude, a good
mood, and it gives the impression that you're someone who is, most
likely, fun to be with. It's also very difficult to ignore.�
2.
Have a sense of humor. Learn to laugh at petty matters. People love
to be with those who can turn any situation into a funny setting.
3.
Maintain eye contact. Your eyes are probably the most expressive
parts of your body. When you look at your dear one constantly, you
are expressing your sincere intentions. Eye contact also establishes
a bond between two persons. They would naturally feel more
comfortable in each other�s company.
4.
Nod your head. By nodding, you signify your approval and you
encourage the other party to continue talking. You give reassurance
that your loved one is doing ok.
5.
Be open, physically. Do not cross your arms across the chest or hold
obstructive objects (such as a food) between the two of you. Put
your hands on your sides (and if possible put your palms up) to
convey openness.
Do you want to know if that special someone is interested in you as
well? Let's assume
you're a man. You see a gorgeous lady that made your heart beat
faster. Look at her with extreme confidence letting her know you are
interested. Then wait for her reaction. She may be a bit shy to
stare back at you, so it's natural if she shifts her glance. Here's
how to find out if she's attracted to you.
�
If she looks down and away, she's interested.
�
If she looks to the left or right, she's not interested.
Moreover, how will you know if a person is attracted to you just by
observing body signs? A girl, for example, is flirting if she
espouses the following body language:
1.
Her lips show the way. She wears that big smile with her teeth
exposed and with a relaxed face. She bites her lips or shows her
tongue, or she licks her lips and touches the front of her teeth.
2.
Her eyes show you everything.
She looks at you with a deep stare and her pupils are dilated. She
raises her eyebrows seductively and gives you a wink from a
distance, or when she is talking to you. And of course, the most
common one - she blinks her eyes
more than usual and shows you that fluttering eyelashes.
3.
She gets herself noticed by the stroking of her hair.
She may push her fingers through her hair, twirl it around her
fingers, or throw her hair back off her shoulders.
4.
She shows a little more skin on her clothing. The hem of her skirt
goes up a little further exposing her legs, or she fixes her clothes
more than usual to look a little better.
5.
You can tell it from the way she sits.
She sits with an open leg or crosses her legs in a manner where her
thighs can be seen. Or her legs are rubbing against each other or
against the leg of the table.
6.
Her hands mirror how she feels. She rubs her wrists up and down in a
suggestive manner. She rubs her chin or touches her cheek, and in a
bold way may even unconsciously touch her breasts. She plays with
objects on the table, fondles keys, or rubs a drinking glass in a
flirting manner.
On the contrary, how does a man show his interest in a woman? It�s
much simpler. Maintaining eye contact, smiling frequently, and
exhibiting confidence through his actions are the main ways.
Conversation Openers
If you want to start a relationship, you've got to initiate the
dialogue. Here are some great openers.
�
If your special someone is a specialist, ask "How do you�?" or
"What's it like to�?"
�
Ask about experiences, like "Have you ever tried to�?" or "Have you
ever gone to�?
Find out what interests your special someone. Give compliments
in-between conversations. Always stay calm and relaxed. Be curious
and interested. Nod to signify that you're listening. Say, "Wow,"
"Great," "I see," etc.
The Touch
A simple touch to the body can have a thousand different meanings
depending on how you perceive the power of touch in body language.
It is a basic need to be touched. We definitely need to be stroked
and have physical contact with other people to survive. As we
mature, we continue to heed that need of touching and being touched.
Touch can convey respect and trust, and is also a way to
differentiate power between people.
Touching as an ingredient of body language can be a powerful tool if
done with finesse, with precision, and with accuracy. You must learn
the art of touching in order to send your signals to the other
person.
Timing is important, as some people will react negatively if you
touch them too soon or too much. It has to be done at the right time
in a suitable way, or the result would not be one that you expect.
Be keen to the circumstances and the mood.
You can determine the appropriateness of your touch and your ability to adjust to the circumstances, by how your receiver reacts to it. If the person seems to lean or get closer to you, you�ve made the right move. But if the person seems to back off, this means you did not touch properly, so you have to make some adjustments.
Undeniably, communication is as important as life itself. It
would be unimaginable how chaotic the world would be without
communication. Even primitive people tried to find ways to
communicate when things were much simpler then. In our modern
and fast paced age, its necessity is a thousand folds over.
There are varied forms of communication. Each form is
valuable, non-verbal communication being one of them. One of the
illustrations that somewhat resembles or falls under the
category of non-verbal communication is the way the deaf and
mute communicate. But probably, the most profound form is body
language. It is probably the least known, not because it is the
least effective but because it is the least noticed; yet it is
one of the most practiced, subconsciously. We are all using it
but we hardly notice that we�re doing it. It�s one of the most
reliable sources of truthful information.
Action speaks louder than words and body language is the
literal translation to this statement. If time is a factor in
the delivery of a meaning, body language may be the way to
communicate. This is another essence of action speaking louder
than words.
Body language is made available to us naturally. It comes
spontaneously. All you need to do is to know how to interpret
and develop it to its full potential. Don�t deny yourself this
skill. Yes, this is a skill. And what you have just read and
learned from this book will be beneficial to you in every
activity you engage yourself into. Read this book over and over
again if you have to, till you are comfortable with this new
skill. Use this book as a reference. You�ll be delighted you
did.
Remember to keep this in mind: Learning body language from this book does not stop here. Experience is the key factor. Experience will sharpen your body language skills to greater heights and consistency. Body language may not be absolute but your degree of efficiency will certainly be high.
