/Strong eye contact

No darting eyes while in conversation

Someone talks to you, hold eye contact

Slightly squint while they talk, shows you’re listening

**eye contact mandatory when shaking hands

/Shoulders back

No one wants to look like the hunched back of Notre dame

Also, look at every world leader...

What’s their posture like?

Strong, shoulders back

Plus it instantly enhances your mood positively

Stick that chest out proudly

/Mouth closed

Bro, close that damn mouth when working the room 😂

No one wants to see drool or feel your hot breathe melting their skin

Close your mouth, slightly clinch jaw when in the group

...open when your respond

/Chin up

Simple one here

Chin up oozes confidence

Keep your chin slightly raised (+Shoulders back =👑)

Keep your chin down when you’re fighting, not socializing

/Feet shoulder width

Just keep your feet shoulder width

Too close together you become extremely off balance, too far apart to become some sort of insect

Shoulder width is just fine

/Pen in pocket

Write this down for me?
Sign this million dollar contract?

Oh waittttt.... you forgot your pen!!

Having a pen ready shows that you’re prepared

It’s important

Carry a pen everyday

Also makes a good weapon, just in case

/Use hand movements & talk

Imagine watching someone speak that kept their hands at side the entire talk

Robotic? Yup

Move a little

Move the hands, arms and express your point with movement

It breaths life into what you’re trying to say

/Open palm

When you open your palms, you’re more relaxed & more trust worthy

Especially when people are looking at you

Imagine having clinched fist while talking...

It’s tense, aggressive and conveys a different message then the one you intended to get across

/Touch-Elbow & shoulder

Simple:Builds rapport quickly

Quickly touch the elbow, forearm or shoulder while talking to someone, laughing or when trying to make a point

The quicker you build rapport, the quicker you’ll develop that relationship

Touch builds comfort

Don’t grip

/Ask open ended questions

Don’t ask boring yes or no questions

Ask things like...

“So what made you decide to study law?”
“If you had to travel somewhere in the world, where & why?”
“What made you get into that field?”

It makes you more interesting + you can relate .......

/Listen and relate

If you’re asking open ended questions and relating to someone’s response, they will feel more comfortable with you

If they feel comfortable w/ you, they’ll like you

Listen to what THEY say, relate to their experiences with YOUR own experiences

/Strong handshake

Don’t walk up to a group of people and hand them a dead fish for a hand shake

Let them know YOUR here now

Here’s how:

Twist hand (palm up)
Don’t extend hand to far,elbow at waist
Grip hand (Your palm up)
Slowly squeeze, eye contact
Slight tilt towards you

/Optimistic attitude

Walk into the venue like you’re a damn GOD

Brainwash yourself into believing that you own the venue & these are just your guests

Believe it in every interaction

Irrational self confidence & belief in yourself is the most important step in this thread
