Eye contact, a channel of kinesics, is the primary way that people communicate dominance. People establishing dominance will take the liberty of staring at and surveying others while making direct eye contact. They will also be the last person to break eye contact. If you're looking to assert your power, keep in mind that constant eye contact can be intimidating. A person asserting dominance will also refrain from smiling in order to communicate seriousness and may instead frown or purse his lips. Gestures can display dominance; pointing at others and using large gestures is a way to show others your status. In addition, when someone takes a wider and taller stance while also being relaxed, this is another show of dominance. Dominant individuals will also have a firm handshake. They will usually place their hand on top with their palm facing downwards; the grip will be firm and sustained in order to demonstrate control. Those with high status will generally enable more physical space to exist between themselves and lower status people. High-status individuals will also take up more physical space to show their dominance and mastery of the situation. In other words, an expansive pose signals power and achievement. Power is also displayed through standing versus sitting. Standing - and particularly in the foreground - is seen as a more powerful pose. A straight back and strong shoulders kept back, rather than hunching forward, further conveys confidence. Slouching and slumping, by contrast, convey a lack of confidence. Dominant individuals will also lead from the front and walk ahead of the group or go through the doors first. They like to be up front. People asserting their status will have more options when it comes to touch because they feel more confident in their position. Generally, in an unequal situation where one person has a higher status, he will touch the lower-status person with greater frequency. In social situations where both communicators have equal status, both people will reciprocate touch in similar ways.

Q: If you have have an issue with someone in your personal or professional life that has caused you stress, you should address it with them. Share your frustrations with them without ascribing blame. Keep your voice at a normal, unraised level and show them respect. You might say something like "It wasn't cool the other day how you cut me off in the meeting. It feels like you do that a lot and I feel frustrated because I'm not able to share my ideas with you." Though you may be a person who wears their heart on their sleeve, if you are hoping to remain composed, you must keep your face and body language in check. You can display aggression and anger simply by your expression and how you position your body. Instead, mirror gestures that are positive, open and inviting. Don't have your arms crossed and don't furrow your brow together or frown. Sit instead with your arms in your lap or by your side. Keep a neutral facial expression, neither frowning nor smiling. You don't want to bombard the person you are upset with with massive amounts of grievances. Instead, focus on a few key points that highlight why you were upset. If you overwhelm them, they'll be less likely to respond positively and more likely to be defensive. For instance, if you feel upset with your partner after an argument, you might say something like "I wanted to talk about our fight. It really bothers me when you interrupt me when I'm speaking, try to shift blame to me, and insult me in fights. I don't think it's healthy and I'd like to proceed forward in a more constructive manner." Once you've managed to regain your composure and sort out your feelings, the next thing to do is to press forward. This might mean trying to solve the problem, or it might mean walking away from the problem completely. When rebounding into action, focus only on the things you have control over: your schedule, your actions, and your interactions. Don't fixate on things you can only wish might happen. Look for practical solutions. Ask for a hectic deadline to be extended. Seek professional counseling if you're struggling with a difficult relationship or an addiction. Many issues that we have in life can be avoided. As far as it is possible with you, try to live a life that is peaceful and drama free. You will feel happier and less stressed. Do your part to create a drama free life! For instance, if you have road rage on your commute to work in the mornings, you can try leaving a few minutes earlier so you have more time to get to work. Don't sweat the small stuff! Another potential issue that can possibly be avoided is coworker conflict. If you often get into arguments with a coworker who regularly interrupts you in staff meetings, you might pull them aside to have a discussion about it to avoid these issues in the future. You could also have a conversation with your supervisor who may be able to address the situation, as well.
A: Be tactful and respectful. Control your facial expressions and body language. Keep your argument to three main points. Move ahead. Avoid future issues.

Article: You want both ends hanging down on your chest. Adjust the cravat so the right is slightly longer than the left. Bring the right side across the top of the left side. The left and right sides should now be back on their original side, but the right side is now wrapped around the left. Wrap the right side around the back, and then pull the right side up through the center of the neck band. Fold the fabric over the top of the neckband so it hangs down the front center of your chest. Tuck the extra fabric into the opening of your collared shirt. Follow the same procedure as for the casual cravat, but instead of tucking the excess fabric into your shirt, tuck it into your vest. If you like, use a cravat pin to keep the top layer of fabric in place. Take the fabric that you pulled up and over the neck band, and tuck it into the fabric loops that you created by wrapping the cravat. Adjust the knot and tuck the excess fabric into your shirt or vest.
