Body language has been an imperative part of me for the last 8 years or so. While in the Army I learned about body language. Body language can tell you a lot about a person’s mood and intentions. While at a checkpoint as personal pass through you are taught to seek nervous behaviors and array of different behavioral markers to indicate danger. I translated this into my business life using the same techniques to identify different hand gestures, postures, and facial movement in order to determine emotions and if a person likes what they hear or if the person believes in what they say to me.
I very much enjoy the different take Amy Cuddy had on body language. She asked …show more content…
The test levels of Testosterone and Cortisol to me is proof that since your nonverbal communication and verbal communication are so intertwined with your emotions that you can and will affect the other. I am curios how extensive the study was. She did not mention a control subject and the environment the students were placed in.
They also did not mention how many students either went through the study if I remember. Although she showed pictures of the students undergoing various possess I could not help to wonder if any other factors played a role such as Age, stress level, life experiences, and etcetera. So the interview section of the ted talks is something similar to the advice I give my clients before an interview or big meeting.

The morning of your interview or big meeting slow down take your time. Leave 15 to 20 minutes early on top of your travel time.

Apologize for showing up early so if you did interrupt something they know you feel bad also this reminds them you did show up early and you are a punctual person. Rehearse how you plan work in company values and the company mission without directly saying the mission or values themselves. Generally you do this during the interview questions or your pitch. Always research who you plan to meet with and rehearse all the information to be said. Always show up early or stop at a gas station close by to use the mirror in the bathroom double checking your tie and clothes
You should also take a moment to stand tall and say five good things about yourself why you deserve the job why you will be good at what you do. Ensure no matter when you sit if it’s in the waiting room or in the meeting sit straight feet firmly plated on the ground and ever so slightly leaned forward. This shows confidence and openness also shows you are paying
