Gestures

Here are a few conventional interpretations of non- verbal behaviour;

1. Maintain eye contact shows a person is sincere.
2. Shrugs and hand-to-face gestures mark deception.
3. Sitting with legs slightly apart indicates openness and relaxation.Sitting with arms crossed on the chest shows defensiveness or discomfort.
4. If a person touches the cheek , it means he/she is evaluating what is being said. Rubbing the nose indicates he may be rejecting or in doubt or even lying whereas rubbing the eyes shows doubt and disbelief.
5. If you want to win someone over, a good rule of thumb is to mirror his or her body language. This makes it easier for him/her to open up with you.
