Body Language Suggests a Negative Attitude

Suggested Strategy: Bring awareness to the situation directly and define

what positive body language looks like so that this person is aware of

their body language in relation to the ideal definition.

Suggested Questions:

→ Define & Coach: What do you think someone with positive body

language looks like? How do you think your body language might be

perceived in relation to that definition?

→ Third-Party Question: How do you think your peers might describe

their perception of your body language at work?

→ Self-Actualized Question: What specific actions will you take going

forward to bring your body language in alignment with the definition that

we just discussed?

Suggested Activities:

→ Whiteboard Coaching: On the left side of a whiteboard, write down

how this person thinks that their peers would currently describe their

perception of his/her body language. On the right side of the board,

write down the ideal description defined earlier in your conversation of

positive body language. Then, erase the left side of the board and write

down the actions that this person is willing to take to move toward

practicing the ideal definition remaining on the board.
