What does our body language say about us?

*Eye Contact-Maintain eye contact about 60% of the time in order to look interested, but not aggressive.
*Facial expression -Smiling adds warmth and an aura of confidence.
*Your mouth gives clues, too. Mouth movements, such as pursing your lips or twisting them to one side, can indicate that you are thinking about what you are hearing or that you are holding something back.
*The position of your head speaks to people. Keeping your head straight, will make you appear self-assured and authoritative.
*How you use your arms can help or hurt your image as well. The best place for your arms is by your side. You will look confident and relaxed.
*The angle of your body gives an indication to others about what's going through your head.
*Posture is just as important -Sit or stand erect if you want to be seen as alert and enthusiastic. When you slump in your chair or lean on the wall, you look tired.
*Control your hands by paying attention to where they are.
*Legs talk, too. A lot of movement indicates nervousness.
*The distance you keep from others is crucial if you want to establish good rapport.
