  • If you want to talk to people turn towards them and lean in for conversation
  • Importance of reading a persons body language or showing others how to read your body language
  • How to approach someone if their back is turned towards you and you want to talk to them, how do you know if they want to talk? Maybe they cannot hear you or do not know your there?
  • What would you do if they turned and saw you, but they turned away from you with a frown on their face? Good time to leave them alone.
  • A person might smile at you to be polite even they don’t want you to bother them. They might shake hands with you when meeting you to be polite, but still not want you to talk to them. Watch body language. Do they turn away and close their body? What does that mean to you? What does open body language mean? How does it look?
