probably already heard you shouldn’t cross
your arms as it might make you seem defensive
or guarded. This goes for your legs too. Keep
your arms and legs open.

the shoulders a bit and move them back
slightly.

while to signal that you are listening. But
don’t overdo it and peck like Woody

way, not in a too tense manner.

that you are interested in what someone is
saying, lean toward the person talking. If you
want to show that you’re confident in yourself
and relaxed lean back a bit. But don’t lean in too
much or you might seem needy and desperate for
some approval. Or lean back too much or you
might seem arrogant and distant.

yourself too seriously. Relax a bit, smile and
laugh when someone says something funny.

you if you seem to be a positive person. But

makes you seem nervous and needy

seem nervous and can be distracting for the
listeners or the people in the conversation.

person, when the two of you get a good

other unconsciously. That means that you
mirror the other person’s body language a
bit.
10. Keep a good attitude – last but not least,
keep a positive, open and relaxed attitude.
How you feel will come through in your body
language and can make a major difference.
