“Powerful Body Language Secrets That You Need To Know” – Negotiation Tip of the Week

He was overly impressed with her and her accomplishments. His embrace was meant to display just that – his swell of pride for her. But during the embrace, he felt her attempt to break free as a hostage might do at the first glimpse of freedom. He wondered what he’d done wrong. Later he commented to her about the embrace – and the perception he had of her breaking free. She smiled and said, at least you were aware of it – most people aren’t. I don’t like being hugged.

How attuned are you to the #body #language #secrets that people emit every day? If you are aware of such signals, what do you observe the most and why?

The following are a few body language insights that will allow you to understand people better and become a better communicator.

Head Cocking:

The gesture becomes displayed when someone shifts their head to the right or left after its been in a straight or opposite position. It’s interesting to note when it occurs because it denotes someone going into an inward evaluation. Thus, the gesture may originate from something you said or thoughts the person is contemplating.

Eyebrows:

One eyebrow cocked – This sign usually indicates inquisitiveness as to the possible believability of what’s said or outright skepticism.

Lowered eyebrows – Guarded, deception, annoyance, are the signs that this gesture indicates.

Raised eyebrows – Taking in more of the environment – can also denote surprise or interest (note the degree that the eyes widen – that’ll give you more information as to the thought of the person displaying the gesture.)

Palm Hand Gestures:

Hand up, palm facing out -The hand up and palm facing outward signals nonverbally to the other person to halt what they’re saying or doing. As the receiver of that action, you can gauge the degree of the intent by the distance the action extends from the other person’s body. As an example, if they commit the action and their hand is close to their body, the signal is not as strong as if they had a full-body extension of their hand – that would be a stronger gesture because they’re indicating a greater distance between themselves and what you’re saying or doing.

Palm up and open – Accepting, mentally open to receiving information – can also be internal mental contemplation. It can also be a sign of consternation – this occurs if hunched shoulders accompany the gesture.

Feet:

As a body language signal, feet convey more information than most people are aware of. Thus, you should always be mindful of what someone’s feet are signaling.

Feet aligned – When your feet are in alignment with the person with whom you’re engaged (i.e. both sets of feet are pointing at each other), both of you are succinctly engaged with one another – you’re in mental alignment.

Foot pointing away – As someone points a foot away from you, they’re shifting their weight because:

  • Something else has attracted their attention.
  • They’ve received enough information from you for the time.
  • Soon, they’re going to exit the conversation and do so in the direction their foot is pointed in.

Take note of when such gestures occur. Doing so will allow you the insight to shift and control the conversation.

Conclusion:

At the beginning of this article, I posed the question of how attuned are you to the body language secrets that people emit every day. As you see, there are many signals that you might observe. And, if you’re aware when such signals occur, you’ll have greater insight into the mindset of the people you interact with. That will allow you to better understand them and communicate more effectively. Plus, it’ll give you an insider’s roadmap into their thought process and where it’s headed. That too will allow you to help them upon their journey or exit because you choose not to accompany them. Either way, you’ll have greater control of the environments you’re in… and everything will be right with the world.

Remember, you’re always negotiating!

Presentations – Are You a Hand-Washer or a Reluctant Nudist?

You have written your presentation and started to rehearse it in front of a sympathetic audience who can give you reliable feedback. At this stage you will be finding your own unique style of relating to an audience and presenting information.

Be as natural as possible and certainly do not try to copy someone else, or you will come across as false and your audience may also start to doubt the accuracy of the content.

Many people find at this stage that they unconsciously adopt a repetitive pattern of behaviour while speaking to an audience! A common characteristic of the inexperienced presenter is the use of ‘crutch’ words such as ‘you know’, ‘actually’ and ‘basically’. You may not normally use them to excess but nerves can produce all kinds of unexpected tics!

Or the behaviour may be physical, such as hand rubbing, pacing about or fiddling with hair. The Reluctant Nudist is uncomfortable about being the centre of attention and will cover himself up as much as possible, crossing arms, legs and displaying other defensive body language.

Have you ever spotted a Teapot? They stand with one hand on a hip while the other arm waves around or rests along the top of the flip chart. The Change Jangler is one of the most annoying – they dig deep into their pockets while rifling noisily through the contents.

You may well have spotted other bizarre, totally unconscious behaviour from presenters. Make sure you get some objective, honest feedback at the rehearsal stage – better to be told by a friend now than after the event! Practice will help you to become aware of any irritating habits and to correct them, so allow yourself time to rehearse, review and rehearse again.
