Demonstrate the effects, for example, of avoiding eye contact, sitting with arms crossed, or slouching. Ask participants for other examples of non-verbal behavior which they have witnessed, and how they have been affected by it. Tell participants not to show their card to anyone, but to act out the emotion indicated and see if the rest of the group can identify what you are feeling. Give everyone a chance to demonstrate their feeling. Debrief by asking how they felt about the experience and what they learned from it.
Participants jot down their answers.
Ask for volunteers to share some of their thoughts about themselves. Dressing up on the outside helps us to feel good on the inside. Outward appearance affects self-image and performance. Project your best qualities. Smile and be positive.
