Step 3 – BODY – YOUR HOW
You have to #startwithU by believing in U and your message.If you don’t believe, no one else will because your body will tell them so - every one can spot a phoney!
THE BODY NEVER LIES
The most powerful communication tool at your disposal is not your mouth, it’s your entire body.
Become fluent in body language as your second language and watch your results soar.
Step 3 – Use Your Whole Body
Understanding your body language and other physical queues is very important when you are communicating with others.
Your non-verbal communication skills are just as important as your verbal skills.
The most important thing to ensure is congruence – that your messages match your body.
Powerful Body Language
- 7% of meaning is in the words that are spoken
-38% of meaning is paralinguistic – the way we say it
-55% of meaning is in body language & expression
WHY YOU MUST BECOME FLUENT IN A SECOND LANGUAGE
“When it comes to body language,
there are some who have better vocabularies than
others.” Doug Larson
FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT
• Have you ever met someone for the first time and felt an immediate connection or felt uncomfortable with them immediately?
• Researchers from New York University found that we form opinions about one another in the first
7 seconds of meeting.
• That reduces down to about 3 seconds when you look at someone online. Are you giving the impression you want to?
Humans and animals express POWER through open, expansive body language. A chimpanzee asserts his dominance by pushing out his chest. In a boardroom, the executive leans back into their chair and seems to use the space around them.New scientific research has discovered that these ‘power poses’ also produce feelings of power.
BUILDING CONFIDENCE USING YOUR BODY
A recent study at Columbia and Harvard Universities found when 42 participants were asked to either hold a power pose or a contractive, low-power pose for 2 minutes that the power poses stimulated hormones linked to feelings of power. It also the stress hormone cortisol. Plus, high-power posers reported feeling significantly more “powerful” and “in charge” than low-power posers did – allowing them to perform better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmR2A9TnIso

What kind of leader do you want to be?
UQPower.com.au#StartWithU
The most powerful way to engage with and relate to others is to listen first and ask second.
Too many people spend too much time on what they want to TELL others rather than taking the time to stop, LISTEN and ASK.
Step 4 – Listen Then Ask
Extreme Listening Challenge
Listen Then Ask Challenge
Person A – share with Person B something you’d like to see improved at work.
Person B – listen first then only respond with questions (no solving, telling or sharing your stuff)
