Direct means avoiding excessive eyemovement sideways, which could be interpreted asevasiveness or distraction, or downwards, whichcould be viewed as insecurity and lack ofconfidenceThere are certain conflict situations wherepositioning yourself next to a person (or at anangle) and looking in the same direction may helpde-escalate tension. In most positive or neutralsituations, however, it’s useful to maintain naturaland direct eye contact.In any situation where you want to be takenseriously and treated with respect, show yourconfident smile. A confident smile is simply onethat does not show too much teeth. Flashing toomuch of your ivories may give the impression thatyou’re eager to please and seeking approval.

Your handshake is your callingcard. People “read” your handshake and caninstantly determine whether you should be treatedas an equal, superior, or inferior. The best way toshake hands, for both women and men, is to befirm. Offer enough strength in your grip to showthat you’re confident, but not so much as to makethe other person feel uncomfortable. When yougive a firm handshake, you’re sending the signalthat should be treated with respect. Research by Albert Mehrabian at the University ofCalifornia in Los Angeles shows that our tone ofvoice accounts for 38% of how we communicateour attitude and feelingsThe voice is one of three non-verbalcommunication “signatures” (the other two areeye contact and handshake) where others mayinstantly judge you favorably or unfavorably by theway you express yourself.Many women and men underutilize their voice,much to their professional and social detriment.Our best sounding voice comes from thediaphragm.“The weak, horrible, wet fish handshake is aproblem gives a lot away.” ― Diana Mather Appropriate form of physical contact Your calling card Treated as an equal, superior, or inferior Be firmUse Diaphragmatic Voice"The human voice is the organ of the soul.“― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Our tone of voice accounts for 38% of how wecommunicate our attitude and feelings One of three non-verbal communication “signatures” Our best sounding voice comes from the diaphragm Dress for Success – Know Your Best “Clothes make the man (and woman).” ― Mark Twain Personal appearance contributes greatly to howwe’re perceived and judged Confidence can be influenced by the way wedress Hints The best compliment you can receive about your appearance Know the best color season for your clothes Know your best metal We should not judge a book by its cover, but manypeople do.
