Editor's Notes
- Analyze these statistics: Highest? Lowest? What does that mean?
- What are we looking at? What does the ânot goodâ statistic mean for us? What does the âaverageâ statistic mean for us? What does the âAbove Averageâ statistic mean for us?
- Posture: Reiman says. âThis does several things. It changes the chemicals in our brain to make us feel stronger and more confident, and it gives the outward appearance of credibility, strength, and vitality.â People often slump their shoulders either due to bad backs, fatigue, lack of confidence, or general disregard. âThis will give others the impression of insecurity, laziness, and a general sense of unhappiness.â Be In Sync: âIf you were to watch the conversation on a video, it might look like you're dancing with the other person,â Wood says. âIf you don't 'dance' with your teammates it can make you look you're not interested in what they are saying, you are not a good team player, or, in the extreme cases, that you are lying.â
- Gestures: In business, small gestures tend to demonstrate the biggest points. âIt is rare to see the alpha of the group wildly flailing about,â Reiman says. âPowerful business people tend to use smaller, more subtle hand gestures to demonstrate their point with authority.â Physical and facial feedback big mistake a lot of employees make that can be detrimental to their success: showing no empathy or interest in what their colleagues are saying. âIf you don't give feedback physically, people think you don't care, that you're stuck up, and host of other negative attributes.â
- Eye Contact: Reiman explains. The ability to gaze at another while speaking denotes authority, confidence, and presence. âStudies suggest that holding eye contact while speaking has an enormous impact on your ability to persuade. âŚshe says. When breaking eye contact, it is better to break off to the left or to the right, as looking down suggests insecurity. Handshake: The secret to a great handshake is palm-to-palm contact,â Wood says. You want to slide your hand down into the web of theirs, and make palm-to-palm contact. Lock thumbs, and apply an equal amount of pressure.
- Mixed Messages âŚis another common mistake, Wood says. For example: You say, âthat sounds greatâ in a monotone voice, while you cross your arms and roll your eyes. âI believe this is the worst mistake any communicator can make,â she says. âSome people do it as a passive aggressive way of getting their message across.â Smile: It also sets off the mirror neurons in your listener instructing them to smile back, she says. Without the smile, an individual is often seen as grim or aloof.âOf course, worse than the non-smiler is the perma-grinner, who smiles too often and is perceived as insincere and misleading,â Reiman adds.
- Eye Rolling: âWhile for some it's a habit, it is a completely conscious act that can be avoided with self-awareness.âEye rolling signals to your listener that you don't appreciate or respect them or what they are saying. âThis is such a strong signal that researchers have proven that rolling your eyes after a spouse has spoken is a strong predictor of divorce,â she says Arm Crossing: Look around in a meeting and you'll likely notice a few colleagues crossing their armsâŚ. âŚâWhen a listener can't see your hands, they wonder what you are hiding.â
