Body Language in Difficult Conversations: Three Personal Tips

"Topics include matching facial expression to the situation, using an open posture, considering stance and distance, and noticing how furniture affects the interaction."

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 presenter’s recommendations for conversation, not proof that a posture has the same meaning or effect in every situation.
