040: Body Language That Put Others on Defense


Listen Later

In this episode, Greg talks about how we can often communicate aggressiveness in our office and life without even realizing it. With this understanding, we can develop more understanding and peaceful environments around us.

Defensive Body Language:

Self hugging

Arm gripping

Stiff or curved arm

Back against the wall


Aggressive Body Language:

Clench fist

Jaw tightens

Chest puff

Long Stare


What to do when you spot these behaviors:

Be lighter

Tone it down a bit

Watch posture, gesture, and tone

Do not mirror them
