What Makes Someone Look Powerful?
What makes someone look powerful?
A distinctive pattern of nonverbal behaviors characterizes high-status persons. A recent meta-analysis ( a study of many research studies) shows these three factors.
• facial expressiveness,
• greater bodily openness (what I refer to as open body windows)
• smaller interpersonal distances (that is high status people approach others at closer distances.) Think about it this way - a boss, by virtue of their status can come into your cubical and interact closely. A lower status person might stand outside the cubical and ask to enter and stand further away. Powerful people come in and interact closely as behaviors that are characteristic of higher status persons (Hall, Coats, & LeBeau, 2005)

3 Tips for Team Presentations to High Level Executives
3 Secrets to Successful Team Presentations to High Level Executives
Yesterday, I was coaching a group of fantastically motivated, hardworking, immerging leaders at one of my pharmaceutical clients. They where preparing to give team presentations to the big wigs of their organization. If you follow my blog, you know that the beginnings and endings of presentations can make or break your presentation. It is often the smallest behaviors that have the biggest impact on the outcome of your presentation. The team had already worked many hours on their own portion of the presentation. They each had great content for a single speech. They each new what they wanted to say and they each wanted to impress the big wigs. But they didn't know how it would look as one seamless presentation.
One of the things I suggested to the group is that they get together after their presentation to celebrate their success. They just contacted me from their celebration. What worked for them at the beginning and close? They sent me a email with what they did in the meeting. These are three things they used from our work that worked to improve their team presentation.
• So that the team could bond with the audience and look professional and not computer with each other for a power position we formed a greeting line at the entrance of the meeting room . so that each executive shook our hands with all four members as they came in, we even had the executives that tried to come in the side door come in the main door to greet us. The executives loved it.
• We wowed them with our “Imagine” attention getter that allowed each of us to speak and express our passion for a high performance team.
• We were prepared for the tough questions. The practice with you yesterday creating and answering the questions helped. We know how to answer the “We hope the audience doesn’t ask questions." The practice responding and tossing questions to fellow team members prepared us for the tough questions. During the presentation we were able to toss them easily to each other.
One of the things I also suggested is that they get together after their presentation to celebrate their success. They just called me from their celebration. What worked for them at the beginning and close? Here is what they said:
