Interviews and Negotiations
Additionally crucial in interviews and negotiations is body language. It can make you seem more assured, collected, and composed. Here are some guidelines for using body language in such circumstances:
- Keep good posture:
Sit with your shoulders back, your head held high, and your back straight. You’ll come across as confident, which is important in a meeting or negotiation.
- Let your body relax:
Even though situations like interviews and negotiations can make you feel anxious, aim to maintain body relaxation. Hold your hands in front of you still. Refrain from fidgeting because doing so shows that you are anxious.
- Implement mirroring
In these circumstances, mimicking the other person’s body language will boost your chances of success by subconsciously giving the impression that you two are on the same page.
Bottom Line
It is crucial to understand how to read and decipher body language and facial emotions since during talks, our bodies communicate a lot more than what we do with our words.
Understanding body language will improve your capacity to communicate successfully and help you better decipher what others are trying to say.
The best method to effectively read body language is to look at many signals that a person’s body may be conveying, as well as the context of what they are saying orally. As you may have noticed, many body language signals can suggest more than one feeling or expression.
