| Reading Body Language is an Art |
Reading body language is important during job interviews, negotiations,
or even presentations. You need to appreciate that more than 60% of
what you try to communicate comes from your body language.
Politicians are photographed more often. So, we utilize some their public
pictures to build on reading their body language:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hand on shoulder
This picture is an excellent exhibition from someone who is known for
hating Israel as he extends a very warm welcome to a Jew Rabbi.
Ahmady Naggad President of Iran extends a warm welcome to a Jew.
This picture shows that he has a problem with Israel only, and not the
Jews!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seating position to keep things relaxed
Using the 45 degrees seating arrangements helps relax the meeting or
interview. Opt for this seating if you feel warm about the person you
intend to meet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shoulder Shrugging
Shoulder Shrugging means that the person is in submission and wants
to tell you that s/he does not know anything more of what he told you
or knows nothing at all. Type of "Beats me" sign.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open Palm
Reading body language of the open Palm gesture is used by many of us
to sign goodbye, openness, trust, and confidence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Double Handshake to express warm relationship
Double hand handshake usually aims to express warm relationship. This
is at least from Arafat, but Blair's tight lips expresses dis joy of such
position.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stiff Handshake
Reading body language that is sed between enemies shaking hands for
the first time is not difficult. This is clear by Rabin's lean forward and stiff
arm to keep Arafat Away. Arafat also stays at bay to express power.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crossed Arms on Chest
This is a good tactic by many of us to put a barrier against someone we
don't like. You will notice this a lot if lefts. Peers at the office who don't
like each other or feel insecure use it often.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lying signs
Professional politicians lie a lot because it is part of the job. This makes
knowing when they are lying bit difficult for the average person. Here
are some examples that might help you understand the lying signals.
Changing voice as it tends to go flat, not looking straight in the eyes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mirroring the other party body language
This usually happens when the two parties are in agreement in full. This
can be seen by politicians when they agree or partners when they like
and agree on everything. Mimicking is usually a sign of respect.
