Put on a Happy Face: Tuesday's Leads

Have you recently thought about how you come across during an interview or a business meeting?  What messages do your face and body language transmit--as a direct link to your thoughts--that might be hurting you and damaging the way others' perceive you?

For you CSB grads and current students, we talk about this point in Self Awareness classes, and I try to get each of you to assess how others perceive you.  So if you've gotten away from assessing yourself in the job search, start paying more attention to your facial expressions, your body language, and the non-verbal cues you're sending out during an interview (or any business interaction).  Are you sending out a vibe that is welcoming and perceived as being "customer friendly"?  Or are you the "angry old man" like Clint in this shot from Grand Turino?

Giving people the right perception--not only through your words but also through your non-verbal communication--is vital.  After all, who wants to hire an angry, depressed, or tempermental employee? 


So get out there and show them the happy and personable you that will represent any business with a smile.
