I have a question on hand shake. What are your thoughts about a body builder who lift heavy weights? When he shake hands he usually keep is very soft because he think he is not sure how much pressure is too much for a normal person...In that case do you think the point of view of the normal person change? so does it mean that there is different signs for body builders?? - thanks!
This is quite possibly the best explanation I've found on body language. However, I will comment that most of us have grown up with being told that strong eye contact (without looking psychotic) is good and portrays confidence. I believe at this point, people are more used to eye contact and many won't feel uncomfortable by it due to frequent experience.
However, I agree that you notice if someone is not used to it and seems intimidated. At this point it is a good to look away periodically.
thanks, very good stuff, at times we usually forget about what our bodies are saying, and it totally gives us away, thanks i'll be more sensitive to my clients...now
HEY There, We was wondering over here about when you talked about Business; talking about or asking questions to see there normal BL then when you go into deeper matters you can tell and be prepared. Well The question is "Whats A Really Good way To Present a good close non-verbally i hear asking and silence, but as far as Your Ideas on that, over-all Would be helpful because of the way you explain and express it...
Sorry for the delay, it's my first day back in the office. What you suggest makes a lot of sense and I'm writing a an explanation that I will put up on YouTube soon. I will offer a few different ideas that might help.
Excellent video, I am just about to run a training session for a group of sales executives and this really does give me a great structure for the session. Thank you
Another EXCELLENT video by Peter Clayton. I have studied many aspects of body language in business over the years and can always rely on Peter to provide superb insights, hints and tips, all backed up by real life experience.
At last, a scientific reason as to why my housemate's ridiculous tendency to stand square on and stare when not even saying anything makes me dislike him so much, almost feel a bit aggressive towards him.
I wonder if something's not right about this guy. Once when I was coming home from work he laughed and said "I walked and I STILL got home before you!". I laughed back and said "What a loser". He actually followed me into my room and said "how does that make me a loser?". So irritating.
This is really good stuff whether you want to improve your own body language, or if you want to adopt some tactics to get your own back on the people who intimidate you. I'm making my list of "victims" right now!
This is a really helpful video. I'm definitely using the "intimidating stare" on a few of my teachers at school!
Do you think that when people move their hands alot, they're covering something up?
Also most people can't look you in the eye when they're lying, my mom and dad do the opposite - they look directly into my eyes. Is that just a parent thing though?
This is the first bodylanguage video I've watched where you can actually make use of what it shows you. Others seem to be entertaining, but lacking in practical use. Looking forward to reading the book now.
This is an excellent introduction to body language. Very helpful tips for enhancing daily interactions. I've been very impressed with other training material that I've seen of Peter's so I was particlarly pleased to find this clip. Well done!!
I've read quite a bit about bodylanguage and this is the first time I've found something really useful that explains how to make use of different signals.
A very useful introduction to body language in work. I have already decided to subtly change my handshake, and will use this as a reference in the future. Thank you for sharing this.
