Here’s what weak, low status body language looks like:

• Lack of eye contact, or looking downwards
• Fidgeting and moving your hands or head around a lot
• Touching your face with your hands
• Short, sharp, quick movements
• Slouching

Here’s what powerful, high status body language looks like:

• Good eye contact
• Holding your body and head still, with few, deliberate movements
• Slow, deliberate, graceful movements or not moving at all
• Standing upright and tall

Take some time today to notice your body language. Are you using powerful body language?
