Body Language is the best communication tool, so little is understood.

But why do people put their hands in pocket? Putting the hands in pocket is sometimes associated with lying. Or lack of self confidence

Walk the talk

“Your talk talks and your walk talks, but your walk talks louder than your talk talks.”

1-You have asked for too much.

• When we speak we encode important information about ourselves

• And when we listen we can decode important information about them

• Crossed legs is defensive or negative attitude

• Standing legged crossed gestures- strangers and standing with whom they do not know

• To break a telephone call abruptly, there is a call on the other line, some one is at the door- without breaking the rapport

• Negative Body languages

• Lips tightly pressed or bite on the lower lip

• Touching or covering some part of the face

• Turn side ways, points shoulder towards you with crossed arms-not interested

One commonly used way a liar buys more time is by employing questions such as:

“Can you repeat the question?”“What do you think?”“Could you be more specific?”-or they repeat the same question back to you.

Recognize these kinds of questions as delay tactics, used to buy more time to create a believable lie.

Thank you for your patient listening
