Non-verbal communication made easy

Smile

Don’t forget the smile!

Here is an easy way to remember some basics of body-language and non-verbal communication.

In order to soften up someone you are talking to, just remember “SOFTEN.”

 

S – Smile (it is amazing what a genuine smile can do)

O – Open posture (not holding arms in front of your body)

F – Lean forward slightly (it shows interest)

T – Touch (depending on the circumstances, most experts recommend a light touch on the arms)

E – Eye contact (always essential… just don’t stare)

N – Nod (if you agree with something, show it)
