It's Finally Here! 🎉

Hello

It's finally here! We are excited to be in touch and connect with you through this newsletter!

Our Kinesics newsletters are meant to inspire and educate. Our mission is to help unlock your potential by becoming a more confident and skilled communicator - a skill that creates opportunities, opens doors, builds communities and accelerates business growth.

We will be sharing with you practical tips, knowledge and insights of the things they did not teach us in schools.

New Monthly Segment: Kinesics Horoscope

Yes, yes, you heard it right! We will be sharing with you the forecast of communication. It is there to inspire you to pay attention to the behaviors and signs that make one an impactful communicator. Do you observe? Can you notice? What difference does it make? 

Follow our guidance and expand your knowledge to master the unspoken language of what isn't said to become a truly impactful communicator.

And now, let’s dive into it!

This coming month's sign is: Contamination 

Do you know if you are contaminating your communication?

When you are interacting with other people - do you pay attention to how you appear in the conversation? 

You see, we might want to jump straight to the ability to read others and interpret their nonverbal messages to better understand what they are thinking or feeling, as that could be the defining factor in whether you get the deal you’ve been working on for so long, or not. 

Here’s a scenario: While having a lovely conversation with Anna, you suddenly notice that she is shifting her body. You observe as her arms slowly move to a crossed position, and her feet get tucked under her chair as she leans back. You probably start to think that she is becoming closed, reserved or even defensive. 

Now, let's stop this movie and take a minute… Have you noticed what you were doing just moments ago, right before Anna changed her position? Did you have your hands open, what is the last sentence you said, or did anyone else walk in the room? What was your own body language or facial expression like? Was there a change in your voice that possibly made Anna establish a more ‘closed’ posture?

In our Kinesics seminars we often say: “If you are not aware of yourself first, you may be the one contaminating the reading.” Self-awareness and the ability to notice what we (OURSELVES) contribute to influence others’ feelings, thinking and behavior is absolutely key! This is a critical aspect of conducting a successful reading of the room or interaction. 

This month's sign invites you to notice, observe and be aware of the messages you are giving out to others - be it with your body, voice or face - and how they affect your interactions. 

Let us know! Do you notice if and when you contaminate your interaction with others? Share with us by replying back to this email.
