To be successful in business regardless of level it is important to have an understanding of perceived body language message.

The Plato Group offer 4 tricks to better understand body language and communicate more proficiently;

Gently touch the person on the arm - The Plato Group offer advice on building trust through action, when telling a light-hearted joke or telling a story, lightly touch the other persons arm. By doing this a mental bond is formed as well as a physical bond.

Nod your head - Listening is a key skill when communicating. When trying to build rapport with someone speaking to you, nod your head on occasion when the person says new things. The Plato Group believes it creates a great bond in conversation when the listener is nodding their head and displaying that they are really listening, and engaged in the conversation.

Use mirroring - Mirroring is doing what the other person you are speaking with is doing, albeit subtly. You don't want to blatantly copy every little action they make, but you do want to delicately do, as they do. By mimicking their actions, whether it's crossing your arms if they have their arms crossed, speaking soft if they speak soft, or keeping great eye contact if they keep it on you--you build a rapport with the individual. They feel more like you and therefore they feel more connected to you. It's really effective in this sense. It can be used anyplace, but is especially helpful on dates, business meetings, and when meeting someone new.

Do the power pose - The power pose is the extension of arms up and over the head as high as possible. It creates a V-shape over the head. This pose actually has been studied and documented to increase testosterone, confidence, and leadership qualities in all who make it. When feeling nervous or unsure before a big meeting, raise up those arms and strike a power pose!
