Suzie Woodward Morris, CIO

Suzie Woodward Morris shows others how to tell when Y-O-U are lying -
EYE AVOIDANCE:
"I can NOT establish a relationship with you if you will NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH ME!"  People "naturally" like to make eye contact . . ."BEWARE OF THE STARE" and/or "NO BLINKING" and/or "BURN A HOLE IN YOU STARING" = that's what liars do!
LEAN INTO "IT" OR USES RIGHT HANDED GESTURES -
-Leans to Right Side of Body or Gestures more often from right side = Left Brain Control (Analytical, Numbers Oriented, Needs lots of Clarification and Facts.
-Leans to Left Side of Body or Gestures more often from left side - Right Brain Control (Highly Creative, Comical, Imaginative, Innovative)
GAZING -
In Conversation = Focus on the area between the Mouth and the Eyes
Negotiator The Power Gaze - Focus = Forehead and Eyes
Intimate - Women Have Wider Peripheral Vision - Men Focus Eye Level to Chest Level
When someone puts their head back and looks "down their nose" at YOU - they feel they are not being noticed enough - a signal that you are NOT DOING WELL with them!
If an individual closes his/her eyes often . . . take a step left or rifht - when their eyes open they['ll think you've disappeared - ATTENTION!

 HANDSHAKE POSITIONING

-Keep Palm Straight
-Return Pressure You Receive
-Step Around Desk or Tables to Avoid    Barriers
-Let the other person let of of your hand
-Use the person's name twice in the 1st 15 seconds

WHEN SOMEONE KEEPS YOU WAITING -
Take out your iPad, Laptop, Cell Phone or office work, show that you too are busy and are not prepared to be inconvenienced.  When the person who has kept you waiting comes out to meet you let them speak first, lift your head slowly from your work greet them, then pack up smoothly and confidently or, say, "I'll be ready in a moment - I'll just finish these calculations."

WHY JAMES BOND LOOKED COOL -
-Research in the field of linguistics has shown a direct relationship between the amount of status, power, or prestige a person commands, and their vocabulary range.
-The higher up the social or management ladder a person is, the better he/she is likely to be able to communicate in words and phrases - thus using fewer gestures to communicat their message.
-A person at the top end of the status scale can use his range of vocabulary to communicate his meaning, whereas the less-educated, less-skilled lower status person will rely more on gestures than words to communicate his message.
-When James Bond was being intimidated by the "baddies" being insulted or shot at, he remained relatively motionless and spoke in short, monotone sentences.

"Hi! How are you?" ARMS FOLDED ACROSS BODY FRONT
(Response) "Fine!"  NOT FINE = Body Language "give away" - move closer to the subject, if it is appropriate, touch their shoulder and say, "It is nice to see you." This says, "I'm hear if you need me."

MIRRORING PEOPLE
-When you mirror someone else you immediately put them at ease thus disguising any nervousness you might feel.
-By "getting into their body language" you will FEEL what (and when) they are feeling "it" - thus giving you the ability to respond appropriately.

PERSONAL SPACE
-If you are leading a discussion - make sure that your props are not invading the space of others - invite the "closed up" woman with her hands under the table, to hold up the piece of paper for you - so that she can maintain her power in the group, also notice the man with one arm on the table taking up her space.  I would advise her to mov her chair back and bring her arms up onto the table and spread them out - mirroring the men at the table.

SIT COMPETITORS WITH THEIR BACKS TO THE DOOR. When our backs are toward an open space we become stressed, blood pressure increases, our heart beats faster, our brainwave output increases, and we breathe more quickly as our body readies itself for a possible rear attack.  This is an excellent postion in which to place OPPONENTS.
