Communication occurs constantly in a meeting. Not many people are involved in
speaking, but almost everyone (if not everyone) would exhibit
body language
signals
that divulge what they are actually feeling inside.


If you are the leader of the meeting, it is important to know if the attendees
are interested in what you are saying, or if they agree with your ideas. Early
detection of boredom or disagreement is crucial in order for you to change your
approach or present a different proposal when necessary.


 



When you see most of the attendees reclining back in their chairs or just
staring blankly without blinking an eye, it likely means they are not interested
in the topic being discussed. Do not prolong the discussion or do something that
will break the monotony.


When the attendees nod constantly, it means they are agreeing with what you are
saying.


When the attendees cross their arms, touch their nose or mouth, sit back, and
worse, shake their heads, they oppose your ideas. Time to think of some
countermeasures to neutralize the situation.


When an attendee breathes deeply, it probably means that he wants to interrupt
the conversation and express his point of views.


Observe also other body gestures, such as:

Changing the intonation of the voice.
Frowning.
Looking down at the ground

Drumming fingers in the table.
Exiting the meeting room.
You need to detect the inner feelings of each attendee and bear in mind how this
can affect the reaction of the other attendees. If the topic being discussed
becomes “too hot to handle,” it might be better to re-schedule the meeting at
another time. Some emotional people can exhibit great facial expressions and
body gestures. Recognizing them early in the meeting can prevent any undesirable
emotional outbreak to occur.


Be Punctual
This is the most important aspect of the job interview – arriving on time. The
job interview is deemed as a very important appointment, and being late is a
cardinal crime with gravity that may cause you to lose that job opportunity.
Your attitude regarding time will send the wrong messages to the employer, and
will tell a lot about your lack of professionalism. Being stuck in traffic is a
very lame and downright unforgivable excuse. It is better to be early by one
hour than to be a minute late.

Body Language in Flirting

Body Language in Flirting


Male and female courtship signals have been studied, and the basic conclusions
are that these signals are completely unconscious. The more you consciously
understand the signals, the better and more successful you will be when courting
the object of your desire, whether it is the man or woman of your dreams.


To master the art of successful flirting, you have to feel good about yourself
first. Be confident. Be yourself, or else you will look deceitful or desperate.
Flirting can be utilized in just about anything, not just in
attracting the
opposite sex
, but also in attaining just about anything you want in your life.
This can be described as good flirting. Good flirting should be done with a
precise understanding of what you really want, coupled with positive sensations.


I have interviewed a number of successful men and women in the field of network
marketing and advertising in their 30s and 40s. Here are their tips on how you
can put good flirting to your advantage:


 



Don’t worry about whether you are making a good impression or not. Instead,
analyze how you can make the other person feel good. By doing this, you will get
the feedback you are expecting. Soon you will make the connection.


Flirting can help you make friends or impress a client if you make yourself
approachable. Put a smile on your face, as it gives you an aura of being
friendly.
Remember that you cannot attract people just by sitting or standing like a
statue. There will be instances when you will encounter a person who gets a
little bit too close for comfort feel, or someone who makes you feel you are
already invading privacy. No matter what you do, you would get a so-called
“vacuum” reaction. Tough one, huh? You can avoid this by using gentle moves and
by calibrating the person’s reactions to you. Be aware of these signals: mouths
get larger, the lips swell, eyes widen, pupils dilate, skin flushes and changes
color, muscles around the mouth move, among others.


Be persistent. Flirting works best when you are patient. By being such, you will
have room for improvement if at first you aren’t getting the results you want.
If you fail the first time, do it again the second time, third time, just keep
trying. Try different approaches until you realize what will really work best
for you. If you were rejected, don’t give up. This goes with the sayings, “To
err is human” and “Nobody’s perfect.”


This is probably for me the most interesting and somehow funniest tip I got:
“Practice in the mirror, only then can you make it perfect!” This is especially
true in meeting friends and prospects, because flirting may involve unwanted
actions and attention which can put you in the bad light. You may be spontaneous
in your actions, but you can’t guard yourself if you are already overdoing it,
and I supposed you don’t want to be in that situation. Try practicing with your
close friends and ask for feedback.


Make the first move! Opportunities knock only once, so if you want something or
even someone, go for it, now! Let go of your inhibitions. But remember to apply
positive or good flirting. Who knows if the person you meet at that moment is
your gateway towards the fulfillment of your dreams.
