Communication Skills Tip: Posture Enhances Presence

In Lanartco's tip of the week February 25th, 2009, I focused on the power of posture. Having good posture is all about having strong presence. I spoke a little bit about posture in Lanartco's Blogpost Communicaiton Skills Tip: Non-Verbal Communicaiton back in February. I simply want to add here that when you exude a strong posture you are saying: "I am here. I am present. I want to contribute. I have an idea. Etc." So as one of my yoga instructors says, "Sit well." And do that by moving away from the back of your chair, by keeping your hips balanced when standing and by using your abdominal muscles to keep youself straight. It does take practice, but you will be so pleased with the feedback you get.
