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:
Î 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? Î Third-Party Question: How do you think your peers might describe their perception of your body language at work? Î 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:
Î 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.
