Stand or sit up straight. Don't slouch or lean against anything.
When seated, place both feet flat on the floor, not crossed or tucked under the chair.
Lean forward to exude energy, or lean back to appear more relaxed.
Don't cross your arms across your chest as a defensive move.
Hands:
Don't touch your face or cover your mouth.
Don't touch the other party except for the handshake.
To increase trust, keep both hands out in the open, not in your pockets or under the table.
Do not grip your hands or clasp in the prayer position.
The Power of the Eyes
Most people show their true feelings through their eyes. To build confidence:
Do:
Make direct eye contact with everyone involved.
Smile comfortably with your eyes as well as your mouth.
If possible, watch the pupils of their eyes. Pupils dilate when they see something they like.
Don't:
Stare or glare.
Look away when someone is talking to you.
Roll or rapidly move your eyes.
Blink often. The more a person blinks, the less he or she is trusted.
