william, ben, Rehana, Raychel and raymond

5. What we did:
 We had a task to build a newspaper tower without it falling
with just sellotype and newspaper.
We only had 5-10 minutes to talk at first to discuss are ideas
within our group. After that we had to build the model
without speaking and just using non verbal communication.
Our plan was to make 4 ‘sticks’ made out of newspaper and
then we used 3 sticks as ‘legs’ and then the other newspaper
stick as the tower top we then secured it with a lot of
cellotype. We eneded up winingg 

12. Interacting with others: The Soler theory
 The solar theory is a theory explaining how non-verbal basic communication skills can help
communication between people and make them feel more involved& cared for when working with
another person.
S: Face squarely; by doing this it shows that a service provider is involved with their client. Egan states "
the bodily direction you adopt shows the message that you are involved with the client"
 O: Keep an open posture:
 Keeping an open posture means not crossing arms and legs as this sends a message that you are not
involved or really interested in the person talking to you. Egan believed "open posture is generally seen
as non-defensive".
 L: Lean: by leaning forward when a person is talking to you, it shows that you are involved and listening
to what the person has to say.
 E: Use good eye contact-having good eye contact with a client shows that you are listening and that you
are not distracted. It shows you are involved because you are focusing on the person you are talking to.
 R: Be relaxed: it is important to keep still and not move about when a person is talking to you.
