While all of us practice a certain form of body language unwillingly and unconsciously, there is quite a big step from regular to expert body language. You can never hear enough body language tips because, for any woman, pose, gestures and posture are essential in the dating game and in life, in general. The subtleties of body language can help you attract the right guy to a higher extent than any form of talking.

Eye contact

The human body has a central point for focusing actions and intentions – the eyes. In modern society, eye contact is of utmost importance, so many body language tips focus on getting this right. Sidelong glances are a great start for eye contact. A direct look can follow. At this point, the guy you are looking at will probably look back.

Instantly lower your eyes and put on an embarrassed smile – you were looking at him and he caught you doing it. You can take this body language / eye contact tip even further and after a few moments look at him again and this time hold your eyes on him for a few seconds. You can also use eye contact to avoid a guy you don’t like simply look at the opposite direction when he attempts to make eye contact.

First impression

Never overlook this important body language top tip your first impression is essential if you want to attract positive attraction. Whenever you are out and ready to meet a guy, make sure to look your best. If you are not happy with what you see in the mirror before you exit your house, don’t even go out! Your pose, your posture, your dress, the way your hair looks they should all be at the maximum level.

This first impression body language tip also refers to the level of confidence you express through the way you walk, the way you look and talk to people and the way you dominate the room you are in.

Body language tips regarding your hands

The way you hold and move your hands is also a good way to express your intentions. Here are a few interesting body language tips regarding the use of your hands and hand positions in a social encounter:


- Unclenched hands show openness.

- Playing with your hair or caressing the chair or other objects is a definite sign of interest, an almost sensual act.
- Try picking some fluff of his jacket (even if there is none!)

- Accidentally touch his hands when reaching for something.

- Briefly touch him during conversation to make a point or to laugh at a funny remark. This is a very direct and powerful body language gesture
Posture body language tips

The importance of body posture is essential when dating. You can show interest by facing the guy directly and by slightly leaning forward every now and then. Another great tip that outlines the importance of posture concerns the way you keep your back and shoulders.

A straight back with shoulders slightly brought backwards will expose your chest and is a definite sign of interest. Among other interesting posture and body language tips you might also consider crossing and uncrossing your legs during conversation. Movement of the human body as a form of expression

Since the bodylanguage tips mentioned above refer mainly to pose and posture, you should also consider other subtle body language activities. Facial expressions are among the most suggestive unspoken signals you can give to a guy – although we will detail these in a separate article. Your clothing and general visual appearance are also part of your body language mechanism, so pay special attention to them as well.

The human body can emit dozens of signals unconsciously, but if you learn to master your own body language signals and understand the signals transmitted by guys, you will soon be queen of the dating game.

Effective communication does not just mean knowing the right words to say. Emotions and body language also play a very important role in getting your message across. In fact, body language says a lot about what you’re feeling and thinking as of the moment. People who are transparent could get themselves in trouble.

Most Hollywood celebrities and salespeople have already perfected the technique of keeping a poker face and staying still in the midst of a major hurdle (as with the case of gossip-ridden movie stars) or if they are being told something quite contrary to their point (as with people in the sales industry).

However, most of us do not have this skill of controlling our reactions to events and things said. Thus, knowing how to read a person’s emotions based on his or her body language and gestures is important for effective communications. Not only will this knowledge be able to help you rise above the pack, but also keep your nose clean.

How do you know if somebody is anxious, angry, happy, surprised, or sad by judging only his body movements? Here are some ways you can read emotions by observing body language.

If a person is happy he…

- smiles a lot. We might even find him doing a little skip as he walks.

- has relaxed facial muscles and fluid movements

- hums or sings to himself

If a person is anxious he…

- has a pale face and dry lips

- starts perspiring profusely

- fidgets a lot and has shifty eyes

- keeps shaking his leg or tapping his foot

- makes sudden movements after a while of being still

- stutters

If a person is angry he…

- pounds his fist on the table and uses a loud voice to speak

- clenches his fist and leans forward when talking to you

- bares his teeth and appears to be snarling as he talks

- has tense muscles

If a person is surprised he…

- suddenly opens his mouth (hence, the expression ‘my jaw dropped’)

- suddenly takes a step back

- widens his eyes or clamps his hand over his mouth

If a person is sad he…

- has trembling lips

- is not able to look you straight in the eye and sometimes even has tears forming

- slumps his body

- uses a rather flat or weak tone of voice

These are only a few of the indicators of the key emotions any human being feels. Some might even overlap. For instance, a person with shifty eyes may be either lying or just nervous; so, in order for you to effectively interpret what he is feeling, you have to take the context of the conversation in point.

When you think about it, part of body language reading is skill and part is sensitivity. There really is no clear-cut rule as to what kind of body language pertains to what emotion, but there are general signals that can be found in most people.

In short, reading body language does not take knowledge of rocket science. Because body language is part of daily living, anybody who does not exhibit any kind of body language is considered wooden, as with a mannequin that has just one expression and pose all throughout. Because we are humans, we succumb to our emotions sometimes. And it is through body language that we convey messages that we don’t have the courage to say out loud.

It is but a few years ago that jiu jitsu was unknown to the Western world. Today the name is understood very generally, in English speaking countries, to refer to that mysterious art of self defense by which the Japanese prove antagonists whom it is impossible to defeat in physical encounter. To some extent, too, a little knowledge of this strange art has come to us. Within the next few years it is to be expected that jiu jitsu will be as well understood by us as boxing is today.

Without doubt it will be said that some of the following Japanese feats are, in the language of the ring, “ foul.“ But fighting is an ugly business from the nature of things, and the Japanese contend that any means that brings victory is justifiable. It may be added that few men defeated by a jiu jitsian are disabled for a period longer than a few moments following defeat. The lacerations and contusions that follow fisticuffs are unknown in Japan, where to disfigure an opponent would be considered a disgrace to the victor. Jiu jitsu while stern work, is the essence of politeness; it is aimed to show a bully the folly of fighting.

When attacking, an opponent is prone to seize the intended victim by the throat. The reason for this is obvious; it is hard to conceive of a man so ignorant that he does not know that, by shutting off his adversary`s power of breathing, he thereby does away with the possibility of prolonged resistance

Almost invariably the attack is met by the victim merely grasping the front of the throat with both hands and doing one`s best to retain the hold until the opponent`s resistance is stopped. It will be well to study the counter of the intended victim carefully, and to verify and acquire it by considerable patient practice. The victim places his hands, with palms together, under the assailant`s arms, and with backs of the hands outward. With a quick upward movement the victim thrusts his joined hands between the arms of his assailant. As soon as the victim`s hands have gone upward as far as they will go the joined hands are separated, and each is thrown violently out far to its own side of the body.

Tripping is so general a trick among all the peoples that develop the art of personal combat as to seem to call for but scant mention. Yet in this country there are so many who do not know how to trip correctly that some hints are needful. In jiu jitsu the trip is an element of prime importance.

In a trip that is delivered while the assailant is standing, the right foot is always employed against the adversary`s left, and the left against the adversary`s right. Right foot is never employed against right foot, nor left against left.

In a trip that the assailant delivers from a kneeling position, on the contrary, it is the right foot that is employed against the victim`s right, and the left against the victim`s left.

These are just a few of the jiu jitsu moves that are employed by beginners and masters alike. With practice, you will be able to use these techniques as second nature if ever assaulted.

A key reason for companies’ downhill slide is undoubtedly the quality of CEO. Most turnaround situations arise because of the CEO’s incompetence, ineptness, carelessness, ego and /or inexperience. It is simply too much to ask or expect the incumbent management to be objective in evaluating its past performance when the CEO is probably the same person whose mismanagement caused the company’s financial health to deteriorate in the first place. The problem is that some CEOs may lack training even though they may think they know it all.

Sir John Harvey Jones said that the reason many companies always find themselves in trouble is almost always due to the problems right at the top. Sir John Harvey-Jones is one of Britain’s best-known and most respected business leaders. Besides being the Chairman of ICI he won the fame as the star of the BBC TV series ‘Troubleshooter’. Harvard’s Professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter, whose work focuses on leadership of turnarounds pointed out in the Economic and Social Research Council lecture in London: “Formal structures and process undergird confidence, but what also matters is the willingness of leaders to believe in people and give them opportunities to share. Behind every winning streak are leaders who care about the team. That is why new leaders are often required to lead turnarounds.”

Michael Dell of Dell Computers said, “When a business goes wrong, look only to the people who are running it.”

Sun Tzu acknowledged the critical role played by generals or CEOs when he said: “When the general is weak and without authority, when his orders are not clear and distinct, when there are no fixed duties assigned to officers and men and the ranks are formed in a slovenly haphazard manner, the result is utter disorganisation.

Many early ventures into China fared miserably as these companies sent the wrong managers to run the operations there. By merely having a local staff or secretary to handle the Chinese relations is insufficient. Companies should send managers with excellent managerial skills as well as those with excellent understanding of China market. Volkswagen and Siemens hired some excellent CEOs who were able to transform their loss-making joint ventures into successful ones. General Motors sent one of its best people to China in the mid-1990s and is now very successful, even being linked to the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation. Toyota is sending its expatriates for sixmonth or longer on language courses to prepare them for the China assignments. The crux is to have the best key man in place.

People often confuse the differences between leaders with managers and use those terms interchangeably. Managers do things right, while leaders do the right thing. Managers tend to focus on short-term goals and objectives and administer them. On the other hand, leaders also consider such issues as well as other long-term issues to inspire and innovate their staff. Managers act and think incrementally whilst leaders think and act radically. A leader is someone that will attract other people to follow them voluntarily whereas a manager demands to be obeyed. Whilst the manager uses official and formal communication and procedure, the leader uses passion and stirs up the emotion of the people.

Leadership matters. John Maxwell, an author on several books on leadership said: “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” And it matters more in times of uncertainty than in times of stability. Leadership is not a fad. It is here today and forever.

Leadership is an observable set of skills and abilities. Leadership takes precedence because it is the top management who decides what need to be done and the ones who make things happen. It is true that one person alone cannot change the world, or even a moderate-sized organisation. It takes the concentrated energy, ideas and enthusiasm of many people. But without a leader, the movement does not get started in the first place, or it quickly fizzles off for lack of direction or momentum. Without leaders, good results are a matter of random chance and therefore unsustainable. Change requires leadership and will not happen by default. Leadership is the backbone around which all the rest of the corporate body takes shape.
