Body Language: The Art Of Reading People
Understanding Cultural Body Language
It is essential to learn how to accept and address people from different cultures in business and communication. We are naturally inclined to love and respect each other. But, this principle is only one part of a larger question: How can we treat others with respect?
What are the best ways to deal with people from different backgrounds, identities and backgrounds? Treating these people as we would our immediate and extended families is a good way to show that we care. Are there any other ways we can show that we care about these people, that they are as important as our own cultural inclinations and language? that cooperation is possible between us?
If actions speak louder then words, then we must learn to better understand the cultural body language of each individual. You will gain this knowledge and more through our body language training.
Questions and VAS (Visual Accessing Signs)
Although it is true that civility requires us to communicate in a certain manner to be civil with one another, there are more to civility than one's words. Imagine you are talking to a frien. How can you tell if your friend is thinking only of your best interests or the best interest of your business? This question might seem ridiculous if you have known the friend for many years. But what if the friend is a stranger, a fellow worker , or a businessman ?
We aren't suggesting that everyone is your enemy. It's not true. There are many people who care more about one another than this cynical perspective can support. But it doesn't hurt to be cautious. Think about the opposite: How do you behave towards others?
Knowing how to read other people is as important, if not more so than knowing yourself. What better way to learn?
Pay attention to your feet to determine direction
Ever seen an animal scamper along with their tail between their legs, leaving behind a trail of dusty white clouds? This funny tidbit is not only for cartoons, but it could also be applicable to us. How many times have you stomped your feet when hearing about delayed flights? Although you can't always scamper away once you've paid for your tickets but frustration is enough to cause you to turn your feet into rocket boosters, and fly to your destination anyway.
Imagine this: What if someone crosses their legs? This is a sign that you are angry with them. What happened? Do I expect to see an angry face as I look up? Or is it something more? At most, we have generated 6 questions about the feet. Imagine how many other questions can be asked and solved through our bodylanguage training. You might find the foot discussion fascinating.
To speak the language of your clients, mirror their behavior
Although we've all spoken to others informally before, some have made it into a fine art. However, speaking passionately isn't the only way to please others. We must use their body language. It's one thing to say "we don’t bite" but it's quite another to shout it at your colleagues.
Hyperbolic humor aside. It's obvious that our actions can make a difference in getting hired, promoted or a sweet business deal. Our body language training can answer all these questions and more.
Introverted vs. Extrovert Body Language
As cultural differences can make people different, so are their psychological and dispositional makeup. This is, unsurprisingly, very important. This is because, while you may be voicing your business opinion loud and clear with a vivacious colleague, the next minute you find yourself watching in horror as another person flees silently, begging for silence and time to recharge.
We can all agree that individuals are far more complex than we think. We communicate smartly and efficiently . This allows us to figure out how to start a conversation, what to say, and when to stop talking. These skills allow for productive conversations in business as well as elsewhere.
