Body Language

What does your body language say about you. I have a couple of tells that I know of and probably 100s that I don’t.

1.  When I’m frustrated my face relaxes and I speak slower.

2. I have a forehead rub that i do when I’m done with a decision I just don’t know how to tell someone.

3. I force a smile when I’m when I know a conversation is not going well and I want to get out of it.

I tend to size people up from the first time I  meet them. We all kind of do this.  If I work with you I make a pretty quick decision on whether I can work with you or not.  If I can’t work with you or I know that the relationship will be a rocky one I make one of these two decisions.

1. I use an intermediary no use in causing a ton of conflict if I can still get the job done. If I can’t well….

2. I point out the problem and plow through.  I sometimes make light of it.

I’ve gotten to the point in my life where its just not worth the hassle. I actually have fun at work whether its arguing over some video or laughing about the huge mistake I just made.  Why have a job where you hate going to work everyday?  Is it worth that much to live in misery? Money? Your body language is a tell and we can all tell when you hate it.  So how do you change that? You either change your body language or you change your job.  I’m sure your coworkers don’t like it either.
