Three Things on Body Language
Body Language in Difficult Conversations: Three Personal Tips

Three personal tips focus on facial expression, open posture and positioning during difficult conversations.
The presenter recalls learning to match facial expression to the situation, including avoiding a smile when someone is sharing tragic news. A second tip concerns noticing a defensive posture and considering a more open position.
The third tip discusses stance, distance and standing at an angle rather than squarely facing someone. A further observation concerns furniture and avoiding arrangements that hem a person in. These are the presenterβs recommendations for conversation, not proof that a posture has the same meaning or effect in every situation.
