Quick Tips: Dress Comfortably

Your lead & follow coaching tip for today is Dress Comfortably

This tip comes straight from my training as a social dancer, which includes a big focus on subtle non-verbal communication. To understand why this might be important in a professional context, think about communication in a very broad sense, not only as the words you speak or write, but also as the non-verbal tones and qualities you transmit to another person through your whole presence, through your body language, through your expression, your emotional state. And this is true by the way even if you’re writing an email, if you’re on video conference, if you’re talking on the phone. The way you feel in your body when you’re communicating, directly influences what you actually communicate, no matter what the delivery format may be.
