skills not-so-obvious in life
Physical characteristics that help are as follows:
Square -square your shoulders up to the person Open -avoid crossing your arms and legs Lean -a slight lean to indicate interest Eye contact -natural, consistantly eye contact Relax - try to eliminate tension and relax
A natural way of replicating this is through the prompt "imagine your close friend has come to you to tell you something very important." Imagining someone you care about telling you something personal, tragic, or very funny naturally replicates this active listening body language. It works really well in job interviews, on dates, or in tense interpersonal relationships!
- A reminder that these are the physical characteristics that are typically assumed by a person engaging in active listening. This means that usually when we are interested or motivated to listen deeply to another person, we naturally take on some or all of these physical behaviors. In general life, it can be used as a tool to evaluate how our body language communicates interest or disinterest to the listener. This is not a guide for how to behave all the time in all social situations
