How body language helps to build a career: 10 secrets Bashny.Net

How do you keep yourself, radically changes your daily interaction with people. How to show your best side at interviews, meetings and on the job, found out the author of the Fast Company Meredith Lepore with the help of an expert on body language Carol Goman.





1. Sit up straight Proper posture not only affects how you perceive other people, but change your self-image. A study at Ohio state University showed that people who are sitting are more likely to believe positive things about themselves that they themselves wrote, submitting your resume for the position.

2. To trust the people you hold in your hand a Cup of coffee Sounds unusual, but it's a good excuse to drink more coffee. And most importantly, a study by Yale University found that people who held the warm coffee, on average, more often called the source credible after a brief conversation, than the person in whose hand was a cold drink. If simple, then when you hold more warm items, you are more generous and a little softer. Accordingly, during negotiations, when you want to act more firmly, standing to grab a glass of cold water or iced coffee (though let's hope that the opposite party decided to drink hot tea).

3. To improve performance, synchronize the swing head, it is Time to mirror others. Scientists at Stanford University found that people working on a project together, come up with more creative solutions if they were moving his head and body in unison. They were more likely to cooperate and more productive in terms of new ideas.

4. To work well under pressure, squeeze a ball with the left hand Goman says that when skilled athletes perform poorly, this may be because they are too focused on their movements (for right-handed people is responsible for the right hemisphere), rather than relying on the automatic motor skills developed through years of practice (which is associated with the work of the left hemisphere). So what to do? Studies have shown that athletes who squeezed a ball in their left hand performed better and less likely to fail.

5. Relax your facial muscles don't need to actively try to make a certain facial expression; try to relax it, especially when reading letters. A UCLA study showed that people think that posts are written more angry and annoyed tone, when they are asked to read these proposals with furrowed brows.

6. Shake hands often as Simple as a handshake conveys a sense of warmth and cooperation, says Goman. A study of Harvard business school showed that people who agree before the negotiation, receive a more equitable deal than those who immediately switched to business. Besides those who shook hands, were less likely to deceive each other after the conclusion of the transaction.

7. In order to increase wages, lower the voice, Scientists from Duke University have discovered that the optimum, pleasing to the ear sound frequency is about 125 Hz, and the lower the voice, the more authoritative it sounds. The researchers studied 792 of the head of the public companies in the United States. Adjusted for experience, education and other important factors, they found that the reduction in voice frequency 22 Hz is correlated with growth in annual salaries of $187 000. Wow!

8. Come prepared If you ever played in the school theater, you immediately realize what it was. Decided not to go on stage, not going into the role, and then suddenly to get used to it, when it's your cue. You need to go, already playing the role, and to behave at work, even when you are afraid. Research Center for cognitive neuroimaging, University of Glasgow showed that the brain takes only 200 milliseconds to read most of the information from the human face necessary to determine the emotional state of this person. In short, you need to "warm up" before you sit down at the negotiating table (in the bathroom or at my Desk).

9. Don't be afraid to Pat others on the shoulder Modest touch can work wonders. Cornell University study shows that touch increase the size of the tip that people leave waiters and significantly: those who are not touched, left an average of 12%, those who were touched by the shoulder — 14%, and who has twice touched the hand 17%. It works in many business situations. It is known that when the store staff casually touch the visitors, they spend more time in the shop to buy more and better to say about time spent in the store.

10. Tighten research of the National University of Singapore and University of Chicago showed that people who strain the muscles — hands, fingers, ankles, or muscles are able to improve your self-control. Tension muscle also increases your will power.published
