Your body language is ALWAYS tied to your thinking. Change your thinking and you automatically change your body language something that amazes all that go through our No Sweat Tough Talk Program!
People who are hesitant about their message almost always “fig leaf” at some point during their presentation. This fig leaf is a sure sign that you are trying to protect yourself as you are not sure how your message will be received.
Instead, keep one hand down at your side and use one hand to gesture while talking. Or keep your hands mid-waist lightly clasped together (gripping too hard shows insecurity as well). Either of these gestures conveys confidence.
Not sure what you do? Record yourself to see what things your body says while your mouth is talking.
Want to develop the thinking to have your body language match? Just set up an exploratory call and we can chat about how to do just that!
