Body Language (1/7): Own the Room Before You Speak. #MakingMovesMonday
Manage episode 482269276 series 3638359
In this week's SySuite Spot, Dr. Derek Suite explores how body language functions as our first messenger, communicating confidence, competence, and trustworthiness before we speak a word.
People form judgments within the first seven seconds of meeting someone, making our physical presence a critical component of effective communication.
KEY SUITE SPOTS:
• Standing tall with shoulders back and chin up improves mood and sends confidence signals to your brain
• The eye contact triangle technique builds trust without the awkwardness of staring directly into someone's eyes
• Entering rooms with breath, presence, and peace helps you own your arrival and appear confident
• Embodied cognition explains how physical posture influences mental states and perceptions
• Practice self-awareness by scanning your posture, steadying your breath, and setting your eyes intentionally before conversations
Tune in tomorrow for Take Action Tuesday, where we'll flip the script and explore how your body can lead your mind and how action creates confidence.
