Your feet will tell what you're thinking.
When Speaking
Check what your feet are doing.
We are taught to control our body language
but we often forget to watch
what our feet are saying
Our feet will tell our inner feelings.
Where our interest lies and
even how confident we are.
Here are some suggestions for your
Foot Body language
A Good Foot Position
is
Feet Straight Ahead & Apart
I've got the power |
You are important to me |
This shows that you are giving your
Full attention
and you are
Relaxed
Not so Good Positions are
Feet Straight Ahead but Close Together
If I stay still they wont see me |
Ah Um...I'm not sure |
This shows that you are giving only
Partial Attention
and you are a little
Nervous
Standing with Legs Crossed
I've just given up all of my power |
I am totally sure...NOT ! |
This shows that you are giving only
Partial Attention
and you are
Very Nervous
and
Unsure
One Foot pointed Away
First chance, I'm outa here. |
Guess which way I'm going next. |
This shows that you are giving only
Some Attention
And you are
Looking for
an Escape
If Both Feet are Pointed Away
In your dreams, baby. |
I'll be right back...yea right. |
What do you think?
No Attention
No
Kidding
Watch your feet when ever you speak
and even more when you are listening.
It will make a world of difference to your audience.
Guess which way my feet are pointing. |
