Your Body Speaks Before You Do

In business, people don’t just listen to your words—they read your body language.

Before you even say a word, your posture, eye contact, and facial expressions are already communicating trust, confidence, or hesitation.

Whether you’re meeting a prospect, leading a team, or stepping on a stage, here are a few quick shifts that can make a big difference:

• Stand tall and open — It signals confidence and approachability.

• Make intentional eye contact — It builds trust and connection.

• Match energy, don’t mimic — Subtle mirroring shows understanding without coming off forced.

• Smile genuinely — It disarms tension and makes people want to lean in.

Small adjustments in body language can dramatically increase the quality of your conversations and the opportunities they lead to.
