In the modern workplace, professional body language is essential for conveying confidence, competence, and authenticity. With the increasing use of technology, it’s crucial to be mindful of your posture while using devices. Ensure your monitor is at eye level, and hold your phone at eye level to avoid neck strain. Exercises like wall angels, planks, and chest stretches can help improve your posture.
Mastering non-verbal cues such as eye contact, facial expressions, and gestures enhances your professional presence and communication skills.
