Body Language Secrets: Read the Signals and Find Love, Wealth and Happiness

Body language is the way of sending signals to the other person by the way you walk, talk, and project your energy. Body language is all about your presence, i.e. the EFFECT you are making on other person’s mind.

Women are attracted to the man who knows what he wants and is confident with himself, who oozes confidence from every inch of his skin and follows through with action.

Elements of body language:

Posture

Smile

Eye contact

Facial Expressions

Your way of doing different things

Voice Tonality also plays a key role in your success with women. It doesn’t matter what you are saying, but what REALLY matters is how you are saying it. You can talk about the boring thing that would bore her and can still get an incredible response… because of the WAY you say it and the way you NONVERBALLY communicate your sexual attraction.

GOLDEN RULE: Speak slowly, surely and more deeply. All women love a very slow, deep speaking voice. Women find this to be very sexy and very attractive.Getting started to get your body language perfect tips from the Top

Imitate the top performers in every field. They’ll teach you how to be a success in your field. Let me explain this to you with an example.

Entertainer Dick Cavett had a little trick when he was starting out to show business. Just before he was about to go onstage, he’d look in a mirror and pretend he was Bob Hope. He’d imitate Hope’s air of confidence, the way he carried himself, so that some of that self-assurance would rub off on him.

You can do that in your field. Pick out people who are really good and try to imitate them.

GOLDEN RULE: Always act the way as your hero will act in that particular situation.

Body Language Basics

Keep your body open. That means keeping your arms down by your sides, not crossed over your body as a buffer. Before he took some pointers from Glass, Tim Cowgill, 46, was shutting people out by his body’s signals. “I would close my arms across my front,” he says, “and back myself up against a wall.” And 41-year-old Deborah Garrett says she wasn’t getting close to people, either – figuratively or literally. “I kept my distance, clutching a glass to keep something between me and others.”

Reflect self-confidence. A poised presentation invites others to treat you with respect. Stand up straight, but not to the point of looking stiff. When sitting, keep a straight back to avoid a sloppy slouch. And when walking, move self-confidently at a steady pace – not too fast or too slow – with your arms swinging freely at your sides.

Consider “respectful” touching. An appropriate, gracious touch – on the arm, for example – is unlikely to offend, but can serve as a friendly, bonding gesture.

Relax your face. Your face is responsible for about 75 percent of nonverbal communication, according to Glass. A furrowed forehead, for example, might be construed as critical. For a positive look that doesn’t intimidate, release the tension in your forehead, while also relaxing the muscles around your eyes, mouth and nose. And smile – a genuine smile – with some teeth showing.

Make consistent eye contact. To make a connection, look at a person’s face while you’re engaged in conversation, instead of glancing around as if looking for alternative entertainment. In other words, show that you’re interested.

Don’t be shy. “Shy people are selfish people,” according to Glass. “It’s not all about you. Focus more on being interested – not interesting- and your mind-set will move away from how awkward you might be feeling.” DONT GET self-conscious. Remember, self-consciousness is opposite of self-confidence.

ROSWELL, GA., Aug. 18, 2008 — ¿Qué pasa aquí?

 

An officer stops a car for speeding. As the officer approaches, the driver is frantic. The driver is waving his arms, shouting incessantly in Spanish and pointing to the passenger who appears to be in agony and his holding his side.

Is this:

a. the get away car and the two men who just robbed a store down the road, one of whom was shot, or

b. a man and his nephew who are rushing to the hospital because the nephew has appendicitis?

If the officer doesn’t know even basic Spanish this situation could easily turn tragic. With Workplace Spanish® a dangerous situation can be averted.

 

Workplace Spanish® offers both Spanish learning manuals accompanied by audio CDs, and an easy-to-use CD-ROM called “Click It™” which features clickable audio Spanish terms and expressions that help law enforcement professionals speak Spanish in a basic and effective manner without having to learn academic Spanish. It uses relevant “bite-size” terms and phrases to get a message, question or response across.

Workplace Spanish worked closely with the Las Vegas police department in creating the law enforcement program. Workplace Spanish president Tom Sutula says, “They told us what was critical to them on a day-to-day basis – what was most important to their officers. Like most law enforcement departments, they didn’t have the time or budget to have everyone become fluent in Spanish.”

Over the past year law enforcement agencies from across the country including Nashville, TN, Eagan, MN and the FBI’s Atlanta office have addressed language challenges by adding Workplace Spanish® . They all recognized that the lack of clear communication for their staffs could be frustrating, potentially dangerous and costly.

Sutula says that Workplace Spanish® has been used by thousands of officers. Many appreciate the flexibility of the new Click It™ CD-ROM. “It gives them the ability to look up an expression and “click on it” to hear the Spanish and phonetic pronunciations played aloud. They can either repeat the Spanish or play it loud enough for a Spanish-speaker to hear.”
