Lecture



 

1. CONDUCT STANDING MEETINGS

Hold short standing meetings. Studies show that in this position conversations are usually much shorter. A person who holds an important conversation while standing, thereby enhances his status in the eyes of his interlocutors. Getting up when your colleagues enter your office, you can save a lot of time. Do not place chairs for visitors in your work area. Standing decisions are made faster. Interlocutors will not waste your time by asking insignificant questions, for example: "How are you at home?"

2. SIT THE COMPETITORS BACK TO THE DOOR

As mentioned earlier, a person feels very insecure, sitting with his back to open space. In such a situation, a person's blood pressure rises, heartbeat and breathing increase. The body begins to prepare for an attack from behind. If you want to influence the interlocutor, put him back to the door.

3. FOLDING FOLDERS

People who hold their hands below the chin and at the same time fold their fingers, attract the most attention. Opened fingers and hands raised above the level of the chin are perceived as less authoritative and domineering.

4. DO NOT TAKE ELBOW ON YOURSELF

Sitting in a chair, do not pull your elbows to yourself. Feel free to rest on the armrests. Timid, intimidated people always press their elbows to protect themselves from a possible attack. Such a gesture is always interpreted as a manifestation of fear.

5. USE EXPRESSIVE WORDS

Scientists from the University of California found that the most powerful words in a conversation are the following: discovery, guarantees, love, proven, results, save, easy, health, money, new, safety and you. Try to use them as often as possible. New results that you get, discovering these proven influential words, guarantee you love and health, as well as help save money. They are completely safe and easy to use.

6. WEAR A SMALL, THIN PORTFOLIO

A thin briefcase with a combination lock is a constant belonging of an imperious person who thinks only about the main thing. Details do not interest him. Huge, paper-filled briefcases are those who do all the work. In addition, the surrounding perceive the owners of such portfolios as unorganized, inexperienced people who do not know how to perform work on time.

7. WATCH THE BUTTONS ON THE CLINKER JACKET

An analysis of video clips of conflict situations between trade unions and large corporations shows that agreement is most often achieved when opponents unbutton their jackets. People who cross their arms over their chest most often keep their jackets buttoned. At the same time, they are more negative. When a person unzips his jacket during a meeting, you can immediately assume that his mood becomes more positive.
