Three points to reflect on
- Making yourself small: notice your posture and whether it helps you engage with the room.
- Choosing the wrong chair: take part in the conversation rather than remaining physically on the sidelines. If you lead a meeting, arrange seating so everyone can be included.
- Showing your stress: rushed arrivals, impatience and constant multitasking can distract from your message. Aim for a calm, attentive presence.
Use your next Toastmasters meeting to observe your nonverbal communication and ask for feedback.
