Can Body Language Change Your Life?
I truly believe that if you’re on the verge of a breakthrough your body language can change your life.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that one single gesture can change your entire life, but your nonverbal communication is impacting the outcome of every face to face interaction you have. Whether it's...
an interview for your dream job
a sales presentation for a potential client
or a conversation with a friend where you have to deliver difficult news
....the outcome of that situation can shift the direction of your career or your relationships in a way that changes your entire life. And, in every interaction, your body language is speaking for you.
→ Think about walking into an interview with your shoulders rounded, high up to your ears and your voice small - you’ll come across as nervous!
→ If I go into an interview with my shoulders down and back, my gaze level and my voice clear and open, I’m going to appear confident and will increase my chances of getting the job.
Most people only prepare what they’re going to say, not how they’re going to say it. You may not think you have much of a choice over how you come across, but you do.
So, here are two MUST KNOW facts about body language you can use to your advantage:
1. Other people FEEL the emotions you express, so you have the power to shift the emotional tone to impact the outcome of any difficult conversation or presentation
The cool thing is, this phenomena also works in the reverse:
2. YOU FEEL the emotions you express, so you can use your body language to manage your emotions under pressure. I call this power your Emotive Agility.
Whether you’re leveraging this power right now or not, you have it.
I know because I prepare professional women who hate public speaking or get overwhelmed with anxiety to have breakthrough conversations that shape the direction of their lives. When they tap into their Emotive Agility, they stop missing out on career opportunities despite being qualified & so they can feel good about saying what they mean, the way they want to say it.
My framework teaches the exact steps to unlock the power of body language so you can walk into any stressful conversation or presentation without losing sleep the night before.
