Social skills that you might need for career success
4. USE YOUR BODY LANGUAGE EFFECTIVELY
Social skills involve more than words. To build interpersonal rapport (взаимопонимание между людьми), use centered body language.
Look others directly in the eye and show warmth. Don’t let your eyes dart away (убегать в сторону) when someone passes or when you get a text on your phone. This will make the other person feel ignored.
Consider the expression on your face, and your tone of voice. Finally, align your body with that of the person you’re talking to. If you’re standing, mirror (скопируйте, отобразите) the other person’s body position. If that individual is sitting, sit down next to them, rather than towering over (возвышаться над) them.
