“What Does Your Body Language Say About You?”

My wife has taught me so much over the years about body language and what it means and what it says to others. NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) has long been described as body language

I’ll share an example, when I get home at the end of a day and before I say one word, can my wife already know what kind of a day I have had? You bet, it is the unspoken language that we speak to one another. Gail would always point out, my body language and the fastest way for her to do it, was to put a mirror in front of me, when I was on the phone. Yikes, I was often shocked and immediately realized what the person listening to me, must be thinking. It was a lot of work and a lot of personal training, but I mastered my body language. 

So, what is your body language saying to the world? Is it saying that people should want to do business with you? That you are trustworthy? That you are having a bad day? Add your own questions to this list, as the list can be endless. 

One of the most important rules, when it comes to body language is your “SMILE”. How much does  it cost you to have a friendly, welcoming smile?
