Non-verbal cues can say a lot in international negotiations! Here are some signs to look for when people agree or disagree:

Signs of Agreement:

• Nodding: This is understood in many cultures. A small nod means someone understands what you're saying.
• Mirroring: When someone copies your body language, it can show that they feel connected to you.
• Open Posture: If a person faces you directly with their arms uncrossed, it means they are open to what you’re saying.

Signs of Disagreement:

• Frowning or Pursing Lips: These facial expressions can show that someone feels uncomfortable or disagrees.
• Crossed Arms: When someone crosses their arms, it usually means they are being defensive or don’t want to engage.
• Avoiding Eye Contact: If a person looks away a lot, it might mean they are not comfortable or don’t want to agree.

By paying attention to these cues, you can better understand how everyone feels about the conversation!
