Etiquette Boss: Enter a room confidently
POSTURE AND DEPORTMENT: Most people enter a room ‘full body,’ meaning, you notice them completely at first glance. Others enter ‘shoulder first’ if they are not feeling confident, or if they want to “sneak in” to a meeting due to a late arrival.
‘Hip First’ is the manner of the confident. They enter with a stride … the leg and hip enter the room slightly before the shoulder. It is the opposite to the hesitant, ‘shoulder first’ entry.
Those who enter ‘full body’ are adopting the normal posture of the masses: Nothing impressive in that entrance.
