Fix the 5 body language habits costing you authority
Joseph Kim
Coach | Master Trainer Simon Sinek Inc.
Even before you say a word, the room is already deciding.
Your writing gets edited. Your slides get feedback. Your body? Almost never. The more senior you get, the less anyone tells you. The board, your subordinates, even your family. I coached an executive who spent 20 years with one shoulder tilted up. Wife, 3 kids, 40+ on his team. Nobody had ever mentioned it. He asked me, "How come nobody told me?"
I've seen this in New York, San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, and now Singapore. The direct reports stand close to you and saying something to you costs them something. So there's no real feedback from those around you. Most senior leaders are standing on habits that they've never seen. Practiced thousands of times unintentionally. Sitting at a desk. Nursing an old injury. Looking down at a phone. Bad habits built from years of commuting. Trauma from yesteryear. It shows up now but you have no idea how it's showing up.
These are not all bad habits, but they are unexamined. Unexamined habits have a high cost when others are grading you and you're not even aware they are grading you.
What you’ll learn
I will show you 5 body language habits. You will record yourself in class and learn how to give feedback and correct yourself.
You will record yourself at the beginning of class and at the end of class and score yourself on a customized rubric.
Most have never seen themselves recorded in this way. It's not always comfortable but the video doesn't lie.
Posture, stance, eye contact, voice, and face.
Every single body movement gets a drill and a test. You will not be second guessing yourself.
The eye contact that reads as confident in New York will read as aggressive in Tokyo.
You will learn how to adjust without shrinking without changing your own confidence.
Workshop agenda
1: See what the room sees
Most people have never watched themselves stand. Or assessed their eye contact. Or noticed their own voice. You'll do all of these and more before you learn how to fix yourself.
2: Fix the way you occupy space
Stop swaying. Stop leaning in. Hold eye contact through your first 3 sentences without feeling awkward. And more.
3: Fix how you reach others
Acknowledge someone without agreeing. Change your face to show you are full present. Exude warmth even when giving bad news.
