Body Language Secrets Revealed; How To Look & Feel More Powerful

Using The Body To Listen To Someone

Individuals may enjoy practicing the art of multitasking including multitasking while listening to someone speaking to them (of course the other person knows they are listening), but listening with their whole body reveals to the other individual that they really care about what they are saying and they will not forget it. So instead of just listening while acting distracted, or merely turning their head towards the speaker, it's crucial for individuals to show they are listening actively by aiming their entire body towards the person talking to them. This involves them pointing their chest and even their toes in this direction.

Watch The Inflection In Statements

Individuals should not end their statements in a questioning tone of voice. Ending statements in a questioning tone of voice makes individuals appear uncertain and even insecure. It can also confuse the listener about whether someone is making a statement or asking a question. Using inappropriate inflections will not encourage others to take them seriously particularly in a professional setting. If an individual tends to use a questioning tone of voice when making statements, they should spend some time daily practicing the opposite. One way of doing this is to take a deep breath, exhale as they speak, and ensure their inflection goes down at the end of their sentence.
