Use The Full Power Of Body Language

When you’re trying to be more social, you should use “open” body language. Open body language signals to others that you’re interested in interacting with them.

So what does this look like in practice? Here are the key components:

• Uncross your legs and arms
• Stand (or sit)...

While body language cues can offer clues to deceptions, it is often not good enough. More accurate signals are:

• Intentionally leaving out important details.
• If the person seems unsure or insecure.
• Shrugging, lack of expression, and a bored posture.
• ...

Using an enthusiastic tone, uncrossing your arms, maintaining eye contact, and leaning towards the person who’s speaking are all forms of positive body language that high-EQ people use to draw others in.
