8 body language tricks to appear more trustworthy
"Trust means that someone relies on you to do what you say you will do, or to act like the kind of person you say you are," Darlene Price, president of Well Said Inc. and author of "Well Said! Presentations and Conversations That Get Results," previously told Business Insider.
That's why, as a professional, it's critical to earn the trust of those with whom you work.
When people trust you, they're far more likely to believe in you, bond with you, and buy from you, Price said.
"Your actions ultimately determine whether or not you earn another person's trust," she said. However, your verbal communication and body language also play a huge part.
"Considering that studies show the vast majority of the messages we send are conveyed through our body language, it's imperative that you think about not just what you say, but also how you carry yourself and act," said Patrick King, a communications expert and business author.
"Body language can speak much louder than verbal communication," King said. "If someone shows slumping posture or crossed arms, for instance, we are conditioned to assume that they are tired or disinterested in speaking. If someone avoids eye contact, we're wired to think it's because they have something to hide. Neither of these are universal truths, yet we must make sure to pay attention to them otherwise people will perceive us negatively."
Here are eight simple body language tricks that can help make people trust you:
