When it comes to communication, as humans, most of the time, we express our thoughts and feelings non-verbally. Actions they say speak louder than words. And no, it is not another cliché. Think about this: we express anger and disapproval by frowning, we hold hands for solidarity and support, we twitch our lips and hiss to show contempt, and we fidget when we are afraid, to mention a few.

Body language or non-verbal communication can be very effective if handled carefully and could be very damaging if taken with kids’ glove. Here are some body languages that could be doing you more harm than good in the work place:

1. Breaking eye contact too soon: This can make you seem untrustworthy or overly nervous. Hold eye contact a hair longer, especially during a handshake.

2. Nodding too much:  Even if you agree with what’s being said, nod once and then try to remain still.

3. Crossing your arms:  This makes you look defensive, especially when you’re answering questions. Try to keep your arms at your sides.

4. Holding your hands behind your back (or firmly in your pockets)  makes you look stiff. Aim for a more relaxed hands-at-sides posture.

5. Looking up or looking around: This is a natural cue that you're lying or not being yourselves. Try to hold steady eye contact at all times when being spoken to.

6. Failing to smile: This can make people uncomfortable, and wonder if you really want to be there. Go for a genuine smile especially when meeting someone for the first time.

7. Stepping back when you’re asking for a decision:  This conveys fear or uncertainty. Stand your ground, or even take a slight step forward with conviction.

8. Checking your phone or watch:  In an important meeting or when being by your superiors portrays you as a staff with bad manners. Someone who prefers to be somewhere else than listen to them.

9. Having a delicate handshake:  Cultivate a professional handshake. Look the person you are about to shake in the eye, smile, greet the person warmly and shake hands firmly.

Hello house, been following this thread for a while now and finally decided to take the bold step. Big thanks to Mayorall, chudy144 and dav8id and others for helping me out.

Your comment reeks of ignorance! Where in my post did I "form doctor"? What on earth made you think like that? Yes! I am a B.Tech anatomy student, and I am not "forming doctor " in your words.

My department is under college of health sciences; Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences (hence the term "medical students" in my original post). I never said I am studying medicine, so read and understand before you post a comment.

God! You're so myopic!

YinkaDiva:
Firstly medical students(MBBS/BDS) don't take their courses in units,so you are either and allied medical students or you are not even in medical school.
Secondly ,all medical schoola are attached to a teaching hospital.So the college of medicine is the school and the teaching hospital is for the patients.Usually the teaching hospital owns all unclaimed corpse and they sell it to the college. So its true that anatomy dept buys corpse from the teaching hospital .
Lastly, no matter the style of calendar you use,you can't be doing anatomy in your fourth year!In Medilag here anatomy ends in 2nd year, for most other school it ends in 3rd year.I suspect you are a bsc anatomy student.Stop forming Doctor!

madgoat:
FOURTH YEAR AND YOU ARE STILL DOING CLINICAL ANATOMY..... AUTOPSY IS NOT CLINICAL ANATOMY... U CAN LIE OH...

iwriterng:
Not that am obligated to give a response, but I would anyway. Yes! am a fourth year student, and autopsy is one of the topic we discuss under Clinical and radiological anatomy. You should ask questions when you don't understand something, rather than making baseless and silly assumption.

i thought you got the joke

just wait,... where is my DSTV decoder self?

ok, maybe i will just destroy my DSTV decoder and leave the gotv decoder.

mrdrizzy:
Startimes and nta are partners just like facebook owner is to whatsapp's

we understand d fact that dstv have got premium channels bt d rate is humongous and it still increases

it baffles me how people keep using d money dey paid for epl as an excuse

dstv bought epl right to support its reign in western and southern countries(that is filled with over 20countries if my geography is correct),just like beiN powers nothern and partly east,dat is how epl segment its payment,alotta people fails to understand dis,jusst becos nigeria has d highest rate of dstv users in west and southern part of africa doesnt mean dey hve to pay for what other countries still watch at a lower rate.dis is insane!!

Now anoda excuse dey use is exchange rate,the naira is gradually growing(not reducing check last 2mnths and now), and hopefully it will come to a time where it will be back to normal,bt oga dstv rate will always remain the same,it never depreciate.

For me as a student,cnt afford to pay such huge price just becos i want to watch ball,which is why i've been with startimes for 3yrs+,atleast i get to watch 1 bundesliga match,uefa and europa champions league and other national competition free of charge(even without paying a dime nta sport shows),of which multichoice cant even offer on gotv,dstv family pack,hell even the compact that is above 4k now.

Also did i mention startimes recently purchased rights to broadcast the fastest growing league in the world(GERMAN BUNDESLIGA),all matches from next season,dey stole d rights from d so called dstv,and we will still get to watch total action for less dan 3,800

its time we know what value of money is..

Support your own brand and not others.
GOODLUCK!!!!

CircleOfWilis:
correct

Inside china and south africa which is better, blacks will always be black and white always be white

uboma:
First, no one disputed the fact as to whether Startimes is a Chinese company or not. China has made life all over the world a bit simpler if you want to be fair. Take a closer look at the appliances you make use of either at home or in the office, you cant deny the fact the fact you have either used a Chinese product in the past or currently using one.

Startimes is doing well at the moment and will improve tomorrow. lets all learn to appreciate and encourage good work no matter how small it may seem at present.

I admire your ability to argue objectively and how you respect the opinion of others.

victor2008:
Star times is still doing well to me considering the number of stations they have, abeg forget DSTV moreso they defiled court injunction and still increase their tariff, to hell with them
