Dare to Self Improve

So know, we’ve pretty much got the head covered….good smile, good eye contact, and walking around with your head up.

But what about those damn hands? Too often, people walk around with their hands in their pockets. This body language makes you less approachable because it sort of closes you off to others around you.

What you want to do to be more approachable, is keep your hands visible and moving freely at your sides. Hooking you thumbs in your pockets is also ok. All of a sudden, you are now giving off an open, more confident vibe! Feel free in coversation to “talk with your hands” but just make sure you’re not over the top!

Talking with your hands isn’t something you should “try” to do, otherwise it will look awkward. But, if you free them from the confines of your pockets, they’ll probably naturally spring to action. People you use their hands moderatlely in conversation appear more friendly and subconciously make others feel more comfortable.
