101 Body Language Tips

Just an interesting article on body language.  Some good advice for the workplace.

1. Stand tall, even if you’re the shortest person in the room. Keeping your shoulders pushed back will lend you an air of confidence.
2. Spread your weight evenly on both feet instead of leaning on one. You don’t need to stand at perfect attention, just keep your feet apart so you balance well.
3. Take your hands out of your pockets, or you may be seen like you’ve got something to hide. Hold them loosely by your side.

Number 1 will even make you seem skinnier. 

Comments

Look directly at the person you are talking to in order to exude confidence.

I believe that eye contact may be the most important of the lot.  It’s very disconcerning to attempt have a conversation with someone that is looking everywhere except at you.

Here’s a tip from a shy guy who married better than he should have:

When entering a new (classroom, bus, auditorium, whatever) and having to choose a seat, find the prettiest gal in the room and sit beside her.

Trust me—even if you don’t hit it off and become friends (or more), at least you wont spend the rest of the day envying the dumb jock who took the open seat you could have had…

So will expensive high heeled pointy toed shoes.

They hurt my feet and make me fall over even before I start drinking to get over my painful shoes.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Then what, offer to let her listen to one of your Weird All songs on your Ipod?

See Whistler, I learned long ago, you don’t buy the cheap high heeled pointy toed shoes, ya gotta go for the expensive well made ones that fit to perfection.  Let me know if you want some brand names and your shoe size.  I have some discount online shops just for you.

Drinking in high heels is a problem so don’t do it. One martini is enough to keep you relaxed and in the proper stance for high heel pointy toe shoe walking.

Mens size twelve?

Yikes, We might have order through the “Big and Tall Ladies” catalog but I’m game if you are.
