Laughing is an important part of any conversation, in my opinion. This is because laughing is fun, reduces stress, and makes you appear to be smart. ]]> 2017-02-02 13:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/carson_cross/zi1k35zvvmw0/wish/151129431 carson_cross https://padlet.com/carson_cross/zi1k35zvvmw0/wish/151130135 While too many compliments can seem creepy and make you look weak, a few here and there will make you seem appreciative.  Encouraging people makes them feel as though you like them (page 3).

Smiling, keeping open and not fidgeting are all ways to improve body language (Page 3) ]]> 2017-02-02 13:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/carson_cross/zi1k35zvvmw0/wish/151131177 carson_cross https://padlet.com/carson_cross/zi1k35zvvmw0/wish/151135079 One should never be sexist or racist if they want to be socially accepted (Page 3). One also shouldn't develop favorite people, or back stab.

Another thing that went wrong was I wasn't uplifting about it(Page 4). I should have said that my anaerobic capacity had increased greatly, allowing me to go out quickly, but I didn't feel as though my aerobic conditioning was up to par. My body language was also terrible. I was cold, so my arms were crossed over my stomach, which made me look closed and critical (page 3). I was also fidgeting like crazy because I was freezing, so it looked like I didn't really care about what the coach had to say and was actually just there to yell at him (page 3). I should have made a joke, kept open body language, been more uplifting and not fidgeted.]]> 2017-02-02 14:08:43 UTC https://padlet.com/carson_cross/zi1k35zvvmw0/wish/151136181
