Proper Body Language During A Friendly Encounter (part 1 of 2)

http://www.bromotravelindo.com

When interacting with somebody you are acquainted with, you must learn how make a good impression. Your body language would speak much louder compared to the words you are saying. It is essential to be careful of one's actions towards another, since this may either strengthen the bond or ruin it due to offensive, rude manners and gestures.

Personal Space

Everyone of us has his own personal space. We must respect each one's personal space, otherwise it is an invasion of privacy. A person usually has a large personal space when around a person she does not know, but it will get smaller once he will get to know that person.

Greet With A Handshake

A handshake is always a nice way of greeting, whether in formal or casual circumstances. Show confidence and interest in the one you are greeting with a firm handshake. In shaking hands, it is important to make an eye contact and accompany it with a slight sincere smile. Make sure your hand is pointing downwards, since pointing the hand upward may indicate awkwardness and hesitation. See to it also that your palm will come in contact with the palm of the other person.

A handshake is also a safe method of greeting somebody. Some countries find other forms of greeting awkward and unacceptable, such as kissing and hugging.
