Three Nonverbal Keys to Negotiating
by Pat Mayfield, for Yahoo! HotJobs
Whether settling a contract or nailing down salary terms, successful negotiators use nonverbal techniques to increase their power and enhance their impact on the outcome. Here are three focal points that will help build your negotiating power.
The Power of Body Language
Using body language is as important as reading body language. Practice these guidelines until comfortable.
The power standing position is: feet slightly apart and planted to the floor; shoulders comfortably back; neck straight, not tilted; stomach in; and arms comfortably by your side. Also use this stance when entering a room, except walk with a comfortable stride — not too slow and not too fast.
Posture and Stance:
- Stand or sit up straight. Don’t slouch or lean against anything.
- When seated, place both feet flat on the floor, not crossed or tucked under the chair.
- Lean forward to exude energy, or lean back to appear more relaxed.
- Don’t cross your arms across your chest as a defensive move.
Hands:
- Don’t touch your face or cover your mouth.
- Don’t touch the other party except for the handshake.
- To increase trust, keep both hands out in the open, not in your pockets or under the table.
- Do not grip your hands or clasp in the prayer position.
The Power of the Eyes
Most people show their true feelings through their eyes. To build confidence:
Do:
- Make direct eye contact with everyone involved.
- Smile comfortably with your eyes as well as your mouth.
- If possible, watch the pupils of their eyes. Pupils dilate when they see something they like.
Don’t:
- Stare or glare.
- Look away when someone is talking to you.
- Roll or rapidly move your eyes.
- Blink often. The more a person blinks, the less he or she is trusted.
External and Internal Power
External power is having a strong appearance. If the negotiation is on your turf, your work area is part of the external power. Internal power is having genuine confidence.
Why are these types of power so important? Because if your external appearance or internal attitude turns off the other party, you may never get them to agree with you.
To increase external power:
- Keep the negotiating environment appropriate to the situation.
- Be dressed and groomed appropriate to the situation.
- Speak slowly and clearly, and project with a strong full voice. The other party must be able to hear and understand you before you can get what you want.
- Lower your voice tone to avoid a weak, high-pitched tone.
- Be courteous.
To increase internal power:
- Practice a mock negotiation several times. Practice is the best-kept secret of great negotiators.
- Be thoroughly prepared. Know what you want and what you will give. Predict what the other party will want and will be willing to give.
- Have everything you need with you to keep from getting flustered.
- Truly believe in yourself.

Bullies in the Workplace
…
She explains, “The ‘bully’ term implies they intend to do harm. In fact, this is not what I’ve found. Essentially, they are blind to the impact of their behavior on others. Generally, they don’t see it.”
…
The Mind of the Bully
The bully boss, according to Crawshaw, displays overaggressive behavior out of fear, not confidence.
“When they get anxious about how they’re going to be perceived, they attack,” Crawshaw says. “It’s helpful for people who are subordinates to realize it’s not their problem — it’s the boss’ problem.”

The Outstanding Professional
November 8, 2008 by us2disTYPES OF MARKETING
Cathy Fennell made us all laugh at the London workshop on Sustainable Marketing on October 1st, with the following gem:
You meet a woman in a bar and go right up and tell her, ‘I’m really good in bed’.
That’s direct marketing
You see a woman in a bar and get a friend to go right up and tell her, ‘My friend’s really good in bed’.
That’s advertising
You meet a woman in a bar, buy her a drink and next day send her flowers and a card that says, ‘I’m really good in bed’.
That’s PR
You meet a woman in a bar and she comes up to you and says, ‘I hear you’re really good in bed’.
That’s brand recognition!

Prosecutor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The prosecutor is the chief legal representative of the prosecution in countries adopting the common law adversarial system or the civil law inquisitorial system. The prosecution is the legal party responsible for presenting the case against an individual suspected of breaking the law in a criminal trial.
…
Institutional independence
In many countries, the prosecutor’s administration is directly subordinate to the executive branch (e.g the US Attorney General is a member of the President’s cabinet). This relationship theoretically and in some cases practically leads to situations where the public accuser will either falsely charge people (in Putin’s Russia) or refuse to charge arrested persons at all (to keep them in protracted legal limbo as in the case of Guantanamo Bay Camp X-ray),
if that serves political aims.
Many thinkers feel such outcomes are incompatible with basic human rights and constitutional ideals.

What occupation would be best for me ?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not provide specific career guidance advice. Nevertheless, most Occupational Outlook Handbook statements do give general guidance on the education and training needed to enter occupations. The outlook sections of occupations of interest to you also should be consulted.

26. All occupations which consist of jobs in which the workers have mainly legislative, administrative or managerial tasks and duties should be classified to major group 1 “Legislators, senior officials and managers”. In ISCO 68 they were partly classified to major group 2 (AAdministrative and Managerial Workers@) and partly to other major groups.
…
21. Skill level references are not made in the definitions of the two major groups entitled
Legislators, senior officials and managers and
Armed forces
respectively, because other aspects of the type of work were considered more important as similarity criteria, i.e.
policy making and management functions, and
military duties, respectively.
As a result there are significant skill level differences of the jobs classified to each of these two major groups. However, the sub major and minor groups of the first major group have been designed to include occupations at similar skill levels.
20. Eight of the ten ISCO 88 major groups are delineated with reference to the four broad skill levels, see table 1. Five of the eight major groups, i.e. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, are considered to be at the same broad skill level and are distinguished by reference to broad skill specialisation groups.
Exit story for Imus

Rutgers team: We accept Don Imus apology
By DAVID PORTER, Associated Press Writer
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – Rutgers women’s basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer said Friday the team had accepted radio host Don Imus’ apology. She said he deserves a chance to move on but hopes the furor his racist and sexist insult caused will be a catalyst for change.
“We, the Rutgers University Scarlet Knight basketball team, accept — accept — Mr. Imus’ apology, and we are in the process of forgiving,” Stringer read from a team statement a day after the women met personally with Imus and his wife.
“We still find his statements to be unacceptable, and this is an experience that we will never forget,” she said.
… called the players “nappy-headed hos.” … set off a national debate about taste and tolerance. …
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18042523/
… ‘Nappy-headed’ can be used ‘lovingly’
Harvard University law professor Randall Kennedy, author of the book “Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word,” called Imus’s remarks “terrible and reprehensible.”
“But it is not the words themselves that tell the whole story here,” Kennedy said. “’Nappy-headed’ could be used in a variety of ways, it can be said lovingly or in a complimentary way, but Don Imus said it in to express casual contempt.”
…
“Very often it is OK for members of one group to use a pejorative term on other members of that group, such as when black people call each other nigger or gay people call each other fag or dyke,” Sheidlower said.
“But it is almost never OK for non-members of a particular community to use such terminology,” he said. “’Nappy-headed’ in particular is clearly a term which is very, very sensitive.”

… Debates over racial expressions are a frequent feature of an American culture still struggling to come to terms with a legacy of slavery and discrimination. “Nappy” is a slur describing the tightly curled hair of many African-Americans. ”Ho” is slang for “whore,” and is commonly used in rap music.
The slur “nappy” has largely fallen out of American usage.

Imus Options: Radio? Retirement?
Apr 13, 4:18 PM EST
… A new gig would provide Imus with another opportunity for his career to rise phoenixlike as it has in the past — surviving and thriving despite firings, drug and alcohol woes, on-air controversies and a raunchy 1996 Washington appearance where he questioned President Clinton’s sexual fidelity — with the first lady in attendance.
“I don’t believe for a second that you won’t hear from him again,” said fellow WFAN-AM host Mike Francesa, a die-hard Imus backer, on his Friday afternoon program.

This Honky’s Nuts!
Filed Under News
…
Update 4-13-2007: This Honky is now unemployed. Here’s an excellent article that appeared in today’s New York Times.
Even so, I don’t think what he said warrants all this fuss. You’d think he had threatened to murder somebody live on the air.
…
The man makes his living with words. Inciting emotions, pushing buttons is what Imus does. He’s good at it. This situation evidences that.
The Rutgers team can now whine about their abuse instead of whining about being beaten in the championship game. They’ve gotten more press than the winning Tennessee team. I think Pat Summit should start getting worked up for her team – they’ve being overshadowed because Imus didn’t insult them. Her team, and university, should start a big to do about why Imus didn’t slam them. That’d create a firestorm sure to confuse the masses.
Who cares? Who cares what Imus said? Al Sharpton? Jesse Jackson?
Was Imus stupid? Frankly, I think he’s behaved foolishly most of his life. His self-confessed drug problems prove that.
I don’t have a real appreciation for him. That’s my choice. My taste. I’m not going to lobby that he be fired. I’m not going to raise a stink that he should formally apologize. I don’t care what he does, or what he says. I don’t think the Rutgers team should care either. Since when do they need approval from Don Imus
