with interesting science. In this comprehensive introduction we’ll show
you the basics of body language, how to read other’s body language, and how to

When we
talk about body language, we look at the subtle cues we send and receive to
each other nonverbally.
Many people
want to know how to read body language. To get started, body language can be
broken down into a few different channels:
FACIAL
EXPRESSIONS
Researcher
Dr. Paul Ekman discovered 7 universal microexpressions — or short facial
gestures every human makes when they feel an intense emotion.
We are
very drawn to looking at and observing the face to understand someone’s hidden
emotions. They are an essential part of body language.
BODY PROXEMICS
We are
constantly looking at how someone is moving — are they gesturing? Leaning?
Moving towards or away from us?
Body
movements tell us a lot about preferences and nervousness. They are
instrumental body language cues.
ORNAMENTS
Not only
do certain colors and styles send signals to
others, how we interact with our ornaments is also telling.
Is
someone a fidgeter with their watch or ring? Do they constantly self-preen or
touch their hair? These are all body language cues.
Body Language Principles
How To Read People’s Body Language
Decoding is
your ability to read people’s cues. It is how you interpret hidden
emotions, information and personality from someone’s nonverbal.
Encoding is
your ability to send cues to other people. This is how you control
your personal branding, what first impression you give and how you
make people feel when they are with you.
