Hey there, Reader,

​

​

Yes, I want Coaching!

​

Most of what we “say” in a conversation isn’t even spoken.

​

Research shows that 70% of communication is nonverbal.

​

That means your posture, facial expressions, and tone of voice might be sending messages before you even open your mouth.

​

​

Have you ever noticed how, in a hard conversation, your arms cross, your shoulders tighten, or your voice shifts?

​

​

Your body reacts instinctively, and the other person picks up on it—even if you don’t realize it.

​

​

Next time you’re facing a hard conversation, try this:

​

​

✅ Uncross your arms – Staying open physically helps you stay open mentally.

​
✅ Watch your tone – Your words might be neutral, but does your voice sound defensive?

​
✅ Lean in slightly – It signals engagement instead of avoidance.

​

​

Challenge for this week: Pay attention to what your body is saying in your next tricky conversation. Small changes can make a huge difference in how your message is received.

​

​

I’d love to hear from you—what’s the biggest body language habit you’ve noticed in yourself during tough conversations?

​

Or, if you have any questions about handling body language in conversations, hit reply!
