Body Language: Facial Gestures


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.

Paralyzed man misdiagnosed as coma patient for 23 years



I first seen this story over at missfidget.com looking up odd and funky news stories. But this hit a nerve. Could you imagine being paralyzed with the ability to think? Could you imagine everyday not being able to move? Sucks hey. Now lets assume all your loved ones and doctors think you are in a coma. For 23 years. And you can not call out for help?

If you thought life was ever rough on you think again. We have everything we need to be happy in this life.

Now the third installment of our Dressing the Part guide is going to be on pants. Extremely essential to make sure you wear your pants to work as opposed to not wearing your pants to work.

Body Language: The Handshake

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.

My latest mixes!

So all that talk about becoming a zombie made me realize I should spend some time on some of my hobbies. I have enjoyed DJing quietly for about a year. I will from time to time put up my mixes on here. If I can get enough content going I will dedicate a separate blog to music and all that is holy with it today. Until then you will have to make do with this!

Most of you reading this are reading this because you care quite a bit about your career. You have been at a steady job for the past 2-3 years. As well, on a personal level some of you may have a steady girl or boyfriend. A few of you may even have a wife and/or children.

Well let's play a little mental game. From your daily routine take the following out of the picture: your significant other, your job and if so your children. Completely. They don't exist anymore, it is just you.
