Body Language: Facial Gestures

VISIT OUR NEW SITE HERE!

Now for the second part of my understanding body language guide I'm going to go over some of the basic facial gestures we make and what they mean. I'm going to try to tie this into helping you communicate a bit better at work. You can say the same phrase and depending on your facial expression the meaning can be different for every different expression. I want to stress that body language itself is more of an art than a science still so take everything I say with a grain of salt. I'm not teaching you mind controlling techniques or anything.

Body Language: The Handshake

VIST OUR SITE HERE

Oh the dreaded handshake. If you were lucky enough you got some formal training from your mother or father when you were younger. Usually goes as follows: Make sure you have a firm handshake, not too firm and not too light. That is great advice and by the end of this post I will come full circle and advise the same. But obviously there is more to a handshake than meets the hand? Knowing a bit more about them will go a long way to understanding non-verbal communication.

I can see it now. If you have never thought about wearing one to work you are scratching your head thinking why in the world would I bother? Well the thing is most of your colleagues at work have thought the same thing and if they had a choice, they would go with just a sweater or a jacket. That is where you must be bold and different.

Dressing the Part: Over Coats

VIST NEW SITE HERE!
Well I`m going to start with covering the outer garment first. For the most people this garment should be bought last. You are only seen wearing this into and out of the office. Possibly at lunch time and when off to meetings. If you work quiet a bit on the road well you will get a lot of wear out of your coat and it becomes even more important to stay stylish and sophisticated.

Body Language: Spotting Non-Verbal Approvals

This is my second post on body language. The title is a little misleading, that's fine. Are We In? What do I mean when I say this? If you are in sales or require someones approval you will want to know when the conversation is going well. On some level you should know when they have closed you, stopped listening or are downright bored by you.
