The Importance of a Welcoming Posture! | Evy Pompouras

When someone walks through the door, I try to open my arms. Whether it's someone I know or someone I'm just meeting, because I want people to feel like this is.

A safe space. So actually there's a term for that. It's called an open posture, welcoming posture. So this is when you want people to not feel intimidated, you want people to connect with you. So I'm open, my hands are out, my hands are open. Two, nothing's in my hands. I'm not hiding anything. I don't have anything, my hands aren't in my pockets, I don't have anything in my hands. I'm open, I'm safe. I'm welcoming you. Yes. One of the first things they teach you in the foundation when it came to negotiation and interviewing school, have an open posture when you speak to people. This is the open posture. Exactly what you do with everybody you meet. And it's smart that you do that because it's disarming. They feel relaxed, they feel welcome, they feel open, they connect with you, and you're going to have a better interview. Right.
