Eye contact…
When holding a conversation, the person you're speaking with should focus on your eyes. They indicate your emotions and can show whether you're paying attention or not. Be considerate of what your eyes tell about you: show others respect and you'll get respect in return.
What to do:
1. Look directly at the person you are talking to in order to exude confidence.
What not to do:
1. Don’t shift your attention to other people or things in the room. It shows deceit.
2. Be careful not to glare at the person talking to you. You may think you look intensely interested, but you just look mad.
3. Don’t blink excessively. People will be distracted and wonder if there's something wrong with you.
4. If you wear glasses, don’t look over the rim. It makes you look condescending.
5. Never wear sunglasses inside, especially during a meeting. Others will wonder if you have something to hide.
6. Don’t look at your watch unless you want to appear as if you're in a rush.
7. Don't rub your eyes with your hands: it signals disbelief at the situation.
8. When you pinch the bridge of your nose with your eyes closed, you'll come across in a negative manner.
9. Keeping your eyes on the door will show that you’re ready to leave the room.
