Interacting with others: The Soler theory
 S – Face Squarely by doing this you show that you are involved in the conversation. Also if
you can’t see the person’s face it means that he can’t see your face.
 O – Open Posture. Don’t cross your arms and legs. It sends the message that you are not
interested in the discussion. Open posture seems less defensive.
 L – Lean forward. This will show the person who you are talking to that you are interested
in conversation and you are listening to him. Don’t lean too much because you will look
weird but if you lean back on your chair it tells that you are generally not interested.
 E – Eye contact. Keep an eye contact with people who you are talking to. This will show
them that you are talking to them and listening to them. This is also way to show your
respect.

don’t take your phone out to watch time every 5 minutes. Being relaxed shows your
confidence and
