People make decisions about a person within 7 seconds of meeting.
Remember that 93% of communication is non-verbal so it's not what you say, it's how you say it.
You can ensure that people like and trust you by following these simple rules.
1. Eye contact
2. Smile
3. Firm handshake
4. Shoulders back
5. Breathe deeply, right down to your bra strap before you speak so you'll come across as friendly, and in control.
When you breathe with a shallow breath, you are more likely to squeak, and come across as panicked because your brain is deprived of oxygen, and you move from your thinking brain in the cortex to the "chimp" brain.

6 年Great video Lucy! Very interested in the body language stuff as I'm a drama facilitator and have run workshops on this sort of stuff and there are lots of fun games and exercises. I'm just in the process of designing some workshops and one of the topics I look at is body language so very interested to watch your video! Thanks for posting!
