Body Language is Language

body language is actual language a lot of us don’t think about body language as actual communication it’s just sort of what your Vibe is like while you’re talking but it actually is language I want you to think about the way the human race evolved we were a species on this planet for a long time before we could talk we had thoughts we had to form language we formed cave art and spoken language and we formed uh written language and that came in some sequence but a lot of our existence body language was our language we would gesture to communicate we would urge people forward with our facial expressions and our gestures it is a language and it still says something and we’re not quite recognizing this when we sell and pitch and present that our body language is part of the message it’s worth taking the time to think about it so what we’re feeling starts from thoughts which trigger feelings which show through our body language and people are reading things from that so you got a team interview for example project pitch a sales pitch and people are looking hesitant nobody’s sure saying a Q&A when they should talk well that body language is sending information that the team hasn’t jelled they might get something different if the body language is more positive if we’re happy if we’re looking at people we believing in ourselves we have certainty we have confidence we have warmth we have good energy as we work through the challenges of figuring out who’s going to talk in the Q&A and answering questions and presenting that body language is saying something specific these people believe in themselves these people know what they’re doing these people are confident and this team has jelled this is body language more than information if I could tell you hey we are a gelled team we all believe in ourselves we’re very confid we’re very good at it that’s just words we’re going to be looking to see if you appear that way so there’s a lots of lot of parts to emotion that affect body language to give those messages think about it this way Stern energy mad energy uh that shows seriousness and conviction and certainty and it drives action sad energy tends to show empathy and share pain which deepens a relationship and shows that we don’t just we’re not just aware of a problem that you have we actually care about it we care about it we’re willing to feel it and happy energy tends to celebrate and affirm like great job we did something I mean I’m so impressed with XYZ that comes from the body language Source through happy sat and manth but my point is want you to think about body language as part of the communication it actually says something the biggest body language message that I worry about and work with all the time is hesitancy if I’m hesitant I’m showing that I’m unsure and if I’m unsure then how am I going to convince you that I’m confident I’m confident with certainty the these are Vibes so I want you to bring this awareness into your next presentation or sales pitch or competitive project interview short list interview all of these things when we present require communication and communication is sure yes our messages but communication is our body language and Body Language actually says something
