Look In the Mirror

When was the last time you watched yourself while you were talking?

How about while you were listening to someone?

Not often, right?

Now is the time.

I recently had a client who was in a conflict because of facial expressions. There was a misinterpretation of those expressions, feelings were hurt, and then they stopped talking to each other.

When we unraveled what happened, the source of conflict was an expression plus a sound which was perceived as a sarcastic giggle. The alleged giggler had no idea.

All of our movements & sounds can be seen and heard.

Increase your awareness of them, because they can be misinterpreted.

Look in the mirror, record yourself talking, or ask a friend.

Then you can be more intentional about how you are expressing yourself.
