Open body language fosters trust and rapport from "summary" of Linguagem Corporal by Igor Dias
Open body language is a crucial element in building trust and rapport with others. When we adopt open body language, we are conveying a sense of openness, honesty, and receptivity. This can make others feel more comfortable and at ease in our presence, leading to the establishment of a strong connection and bond. By keeping our arms uncrossed, maintaining eye contact, and facing the person directly, we are showing that we are attentive and engaged in the interaction. This signals to the other person that we are interested in what they have to say and that we are approachable and trustworthy. On the other hand, closed body language, such as crossing our arms, avoiding eye contact, or turning away from the person, can create barriers and distance in the communication. This can make the other person feel guarded and less inclined to open up and share with us. When we exhibit open body language, we are inviting the other person to do the same. This reciprocity can lead to a positive feedback loop, where both parties feel comfortable and respected in the interaction. This can foster a sense of trust and understanding between individuals, paving the way for deeper connections and meaningful relationships.- The way we carry ourselves and present ourselves nonverbally can have a significant impact on the trust and rapport we build with others. By being mindful of our body language and making an effort to keep it open and welcoming, we can create a positive and conducive environment for communication and connection to flourish.
