The more you hold your torso forward, the more likely the camera is to catch an unflattering view of your stomach. Lean back as much as the chair allows, or lay your back flat on the ground. While lying on your back, bend both knees and press them together. This will make your stomach appear flatter and your thighs appear slimmer. Inch your heels toward your bottom until your knees are at an angle you like. But don't go so far that your calves are pressing against the backs of your thighs. You can also pop just one knee and twist it in toward your other leg slightly. This will help to hide your inner thighs if you're self-conscious about them. When your thighs are pressed down against your chair, they appear larger than they really are. Try to lift them a little bit just before the shot is taken. Press your toes into the ground to pop your thighs off the seat. If you're taking a selfie, hold the camera up above your head and shoot from that angle. It will make your hips and thighs look smaller since they are farther away from the camera. If someone else is taking the photo, ask them to crouch down just above your head and shoot from that angle. If you're sitting or lying down, your entire body should look relaxed, including your hands. Whether they're resting on your stomach or leg, or they're hanging off the side of a chair, keep your hands open and soft. Extend your fingers so they're straight, then loosen them a little so that there's only a soft curl through your fingertips.

This step is no different than the verbal warning. Any time an employee's performance or behavior becomes problematic, it's imperative that you personally review the facts and assess the situation. Keep an open mind, and be willing to try and see things from your employee's perspective. Consider who is at fault, and what the circumstances are. The written warning must be composed calmly and without anger or resentment. The goal of your correspondence is similar to the goal of a verbal warning: to communicate what is not working, and suggest ways to correct the problem. Make it clear in your correspondence what specific behavior or which aspects of your employee's performance are problematic, and why. Cite the specific company policies or laws that are being broken by that behavior. Refer to any previous verbal warnings or conversations about behavior/performance you've had with the employee. Give detailed instructions on what the employee needs to do in order to correct these problems, and offer suggestions on how the employee can meet those prescribed goals. For example, if an employee continues to have a bad sales record, reiterate the company's instructions on how to complete a sale. Offer remedial training on making sales calls so that the employee learns how to change his sales strategy to be more effective. Consider whether or not to inform the employee of what the next step in the disciplinary chain would be. This could be a good motivating factor, if the employee has not taken your warnings seriously, but it may also come across as intimidating or threatening. It's best to tread carefully in this regard, and ultimately the choice is up to you. Whether you've typed and printed a physical letter or sent the correspondence by email, you will of course need to deliver that written warning to the employee. Do so in a manner that is discreet and professional, and be sure that no one else in the office is aware of what you are doing. Protect the employee's privacy and reputation by ensuring that he is the only person who sees and knows about the letter. Offer to meet with the employee to discuss the contents of the letter, and make it known that you are available to speak if he has any concerns or is unclear about any aspect of the letter. You should also allow him to state his side of the issue, if he has a defense he'd like to offer you. It's important that you maintain a record of any and all correspondences with employees. Any time you discipline an employee at any stage of the progressive disciplinary actions, write down a record of what was said and when, and keep any copies of letters you give to or receive from the employee. Have the employee sign a copy of the letter to acknowledge that he received the written warning and understands the accusations against him.

One-sentence summary -- Investigate the incident. Compose your correspondence. Deliver the letter. File a copy of the letter.

Show your teachers how to exercise a skill rather than only saying why it is important. A boring discussion of why student engagement is imperative will do less to improve your teachers' engagement skills than engaging with them strongly. For example, start a speech about student engagement in a boring, monotone voice. Then, snap out of it and use a varied tone of voice and physical gestures to draw the teachers' attention. The difference between talking about engagement and showing how engagement feels will illustrate how important that skill is. Come to your session with all your materials ready and a vibrant and exciting lesson for your teachers. Leading your best lesson for them will show how important organization and preparation are to effective teaching. After your lesson, take 10 minutes to discuss how you prepared for the day and organized your lesson. Sharing the strategy behind a day of effective teaching can help teachers improve their own habits. Encourage your teachers to find inspiration in the everyday "teachers" around them. Teachers can learn how to connect with a class by studying how performers connect with a crowd. Artists and community leaders may lack teaching credentials, but they can still illustrate valuable lessons about uniting material with an audience. Take your teachers to a play so they can see how the actors use intonation and body language to keep the audience's attention.
