Accurate interpretation of body language can enhance your ability to empathize, negotiate, and lead effectively. It's a skill that requires attention to detail, context consideration, and a bit of practice. As you engage in conversations or meetings, being able to read the room can give you an edge in your professional interactions.

1 Observe Context

When attempting to interpret body language, it's crucial to consider the context. The same gesture can have different meanings depending on the situation. For example, crossed arms might suggest defensiveness during a heated debate but could simply mean someone is cold in a chilly room. Pay attention to the environment and the circumstances surrounding the interaction. This will help you avoid misinterpretation and understand the nonverbal cues more accurately.

Also interesting to note how you yourself are communicating in the moment. People have a tendency to mirror, so if you are crossing your arms while speaking, whomever you are speaking to may also cross their arms. As you speak, be conscience of what non-verbal queues you are giving, because you may be influencing others.

Eye contact can indicate interest or attention, while avoiding eye contact might suggest discomfort or evasion. Pupils dilate when a person is interested or excited. And Smiling generally indicates happiness or approval, but a forced smile might suggest discomfort. Lip biting or pressing can indicate stress or anxiety.

Na minha trajetória como treinadora e consultora em comunica??o (linguagem escrita, verbal, oral e corporal), aprendi que há várias formas de interpretar como as pessoas est?o se portando neste sentido. Existem cursos e técnicas próprias que nos tornam mais afiados e perspicazes no processo. No entanto, a melhor maneira de gerar esse term?metro e ler a pessoa corretamente é entender sua historicidade, seu perfil, sua persona e somar a isso a variável da situa??o específica que está fazendo ela se comportar de tal forma. Com essa percep??o, é possível entendermos muito de alguém observando esse quesito de linguagem n?o verbal.

2 Recognize Patterns

Body language is most telling when you notice consistent patterns rather than isolated gestures. If someone consistently avoids eye contact while discussing a particular topic, it might indicate discomfort or dishonesty about that subject. Look for repeated behaviors like fidgeting, space-clearing movements, or nodding, as these can reveal a person's true feelings or intentions over time. Recognizing patterns allows you to build a more accurate picture of someone's emotional state.

Il y a beaucoup de fausses croyances sur le langage corporel. Chaque personne communique d'une fa?on différente. Vous ne pouvez pas déduire d'un geste un résultat. Vous devez analyser si ce geste est dans le schéma "normal" de la personne ou si elle a réagit au sujet, à votre question, à une anxiété,... Pour cela votre démarrage de conversation vous donnera quelques références. Sur des questions simples et non stressantes, comment se comporte la personne. Comment elle se tient, où regarde t'elle,... ? Cela vous donnera une base dont vous évaluerez les écarts au fur et à mesure de votre échange.

La experiencia de trabajar con diversos perfiles ejecutivos que han entrenado su lenguaje no verbal, me ha brindado un par de claves importantes: Observa la mirada: presta atención a la consistencia de la mirada al transmitir un mensaje, cualquier desvío de la misma o parpadeo nervioso puede ser un patrón. Asegúrate de analizar la congruencia entre el mensaje verbal y el lenguaje ocular. Detecta cambios abruptos ante estímulos específicos: Los repentinos cambios en el lenguaje corporal frente a ciertos estímulos, palabras clave o preguntas pueden indicar alteraciones en el estado emocional o intenciones. Si los identificas, puedes profundizar en el estímulo y verificar el patrón.

3 Consider Baselines

To accurately interpret body language, you need to establish a person's baseline behavior. This means observing how they act when they're relaxed and comfortable. Once you know their typical gestures and expressions, deviations from this baseline can signal changes in their emotional state. For instance, if someone who usually gesticulates freely suddenly keeps their hands still, they might be exercising restraint or hiding something.

4 Decode Gestures

Specific gestures can convey a wealth of information about a person's mindset. Open palms can indicate honesty and openness, while touching the face or neck often reveals insecurity or anxiety. However, avoid jumping to conclusions based on single gestures. Instead, look for clusters of body language signals that together point to a particular emotional response or attitude.

Dans la majorité des écrits sur la gestuelles il est bien écrit. Les gestes "peuvent" transmettent des informations. Cela n'est pas obligatoire ! Se concentrer sur tous les paramètres gestuels nous fait sortir de l'écoute active. Deux éléments sont révélateurs et importants à avoir en tête. 1) les yeux car ont va regarder la personne. Ils peuvent indiquer un évitement apporté par une anxiété. Dont on pourra allez creuser si oui ou non. Et la source. 2) la position du corps par rapport à la verticale et votre propre position. L'effet miroir est très connu, mais très peu ma?trisé car il demande de comprendre pourquoi, à quel moment, comment. Les neurosciences récentes ont démontrée que beaucoup de théories de gestuelles sont non fondées.

5 Assess Posture

Posture is a powerful indicator of confidence, attitude, and receptivity. Someone standing tall with shoulders back typically exudes confidence, while slouching may suggest a lack of self-assurance or disinterest. When you're in a business setting, notice how individuals position themselves in relation to others—leaning in can show interest or agreement, whereas leaning back might indicate skepticism or resistance.

Tout dépend du contexte de votre échange. Nous avons tous un dos et un corps différents, donc observez comment est la personne au départ et comment elle évolue. Cela vous donnera plus d'indications que des placements d'épaules qui indiquerai la confiance. Cela peut être travaillé par la personne et fausser votre jugement. Très fréquent en entretien de recrutement. Vous pourrez aussi apprendre comment faire évoluer votre propre posture pour influencer l'autre.

6 Read Facial Cues

Facial expressions are perhaps the most direct way to gauge someone's feelings. A genuine smile engages the entire face, crinkling the eyes, while a forced smile uses only the mouth. Be mindful of micro-expressions—brief, involuntary facial expressions that can reveal someone's true emotions. By paying attention to these subtle cues, you can get a better sense of what someone is thinking beyond their words.

Eyes say a lot: Eyes that shift often show distraction. Eyes that are fixed like a stare show intimidation. Eyes that wink show playfulness. Eyes that move upwards snow aggression Eyes down shows timid/coy nature or insecurity Eyes that are animated show excitement Big broad eyes show participation Squeezed eyes show suspicion/ doubt Squinting eyes show confusion Eyes moving left show recall of real memories. Eyes moving to right indicate visual construction. Lack of adequate eye contact may indicate lack of confidence. Eyes show love, respect, interest and if read with the right context can give great insights. The best way to test a genuine person is to look for their smile in their eyes.

En la comunicación, nada puede no comunicar. El cuerpo y sulenguaje, su expresión es fundamental para entender la completud del mensaje, pero no debes olvidar leerlo de manera integral, considerando su contexto, su entorno y sus matices. Uno de los aspectos menos tenidos en cuenta suelen ser nuestros propios supuestos y condicionamientos, lo que conocemos como SESGOS. Es crucial reconocer mis propios prejuicios y esforzarme por mantenerlos fuera de mi interpretación. Como expresó Lacán en la siguiente frase: "La verdad es el error que escapa al enga?o y se alcanza a partir de un malentendido
