Open Body Positioning

Creator's principle

Your body language shapes how others read you: an open, welcoming, confident posture and easy eye contact create the impression that the person you're reading matters to you.

Present yourself as open, welcoming, and confident through your posture and eye contact.

The cadence for the posture self-check and eye contact habit is user-selected; the source gives no schedule.
