Document Summary
Basic concepts: straight line vs curved line (efficiency) Homework: tape a childhood photo of self beside bed, in work enviro and one other. Use this to remind yourself to find your inner child. Watch: your body language shapes who you are . What are you doing with your body? (hunching, crossed legs, etc) tweaking this changes how your life may unfold. We are interested in other ppl"s body language. Non-verbal behaviour is a language communication actions. We make judgements from body language (ex. May determine who gets hired for a job) Non-verbal expressions of power and dominance (defn. ): making yourself bigger, take up space, open up; common in animals and humans alike. We tend to compliment other ppls" non-verbals, not mirror them (ie. if someone is establishing dominance via making selves bigger, we will shrink to accommodate that behaviour) This is often related to gender; women feel chronically less powerful than men.
