Take advice from a Dog Trainer? You bet. It will help you in your next speech or important meeting.
Cesar Millan shares an example of an anxious owner creating fear in herself and her dog whenever they were in a challenging situation. Cesar noticed the body language woman. He knew she was an actress and knew she had tools she could be taking advantage of. Actors learn to dig deep inside themselves using the power of thought, feeling and imagination to transform themselves into different emotional states.
Cesar asked her to play the part of a character where she felt most calm and assertive. She agreed; her posture and body language changed immediately when she took on the role of Cleopatra. The dog instantly became more relaxed and responsive.
Take on the role of someone you admire in your next meeting. Walk like they would walk. Talk like they would talk. Have fun with it and enjoy the results!
