We are always either repelling or attracting people.

We had a great guest last night at toastmasters who is a professional speaking who travels around the country teaching pubic speaking and communication skills.

He shared a really interesting exercise with us. He had 2 people stand on opposite sides of the room.

Person A had to cue other person whether or not he wanted to speak to him/her based on body language. When Person B interpreted a signal that Person A wanted him/her to come closer, he/she would walk closer. When he got the opposite signal, he would stop.

What the exercise showed is that we are ALWAYS giving signals of repelling or attraction. Almost always it is subconscious. We must learn to be more deliberate with our communication.
