Thereโs a lot of things we do that seem trivial to us, but can make a big impact on other people.
We all make some of these mistakes, and Iโm not exception. One example is having your hands in your pockets.
This can send a lot of different signals to people, and itโs never a good thing.
Some people think you are hiding things Others thing you donโt care enough to take the time to engage with them.
In any case, having your hands in your pockets really does limit you. Youโre going to be less expressive. Youโre going to be less visually engaging.
One trick I use is to touch my wedding ring from time to time when Iโm speaking. That forces me to leave my hands out of my pockets. Other people might prefer to hold items, like pens. The other thing to remember is to make sure these things donโt become excessive and distracting.
I have plenty of more habits to go over in this episode, and a lot of tips on how you can break them.
