Body Language
Stances that reveal your Personality

Let’s step up your awareness in reading and understanding the body language of others.

Reading body language gives you the advantage to see the messages even when they have stopped talking. You have a natural ability to recognize body language. It’s in all of us. You also can learn what to pay attention to and increase your skill so you can see and interpret even more.

As a coach, I have relied on what people tell me…but over the years I have figured out that if I want MORE than what they are telling me…I have to use my other senses to find the truth.

It’s tough to coach someone or help someone solve a challenge when the story they are sharing isn’t the whole story. Maybe they are filtering out the details on purpose…or maybe they just forgot. Either way, I watch their physical movements to see what their body language will “tell” me. Sometimes it’s not loud and clear….and other times it’s big and obvious.

It’s very common to misunderstand or misinterpret body language. It’s not a language they teach in school. Those who raised you didn’t know enough to pass it on to you. Learning how to interpret can be a bit bumpy for the first bit, but hang in there, you’ll get better at it. If I could figure it out…you can too.

So here is a great article about the messages and insights you can pick up on just by watching how a person stands. If you click the link here you can review the whole article. The more you dive in to learn about signals, signs, movements…there’s a lot to absorb. It’s sooooo worth it.

Here’s a secret…if you ever see a physical movement…body language, that just seems out of place or odd in some fashion…it’s something to pay attention to. If you don’t know how to interpret it…just say this phrase when you notice the movement….

I noticed that something changed? What are you thinking / feeling now?

It shocks them.
Why?
Because of the timing.
When you comment right when you see the “Tell” signal, they have no idea how you figured out that they really did change thoughts, or edit out information, or exaggerate…or a feeling just erupted. 

Even though we ALL use reading body language as a survival skill….somehow the public seems to forget that it is something everyone is doing all the time…but they are not conscious of it.  So whatever amount of time you put into learning this skill of watching and listening with your eyes… you will have an advantage in this world with this skill.

I use it to find truth.
I also find it useful to catch a person when they are lying or trying to deceive me.
