Interview with Tonya Reiman, author of the book The Yes Factor: Get What You Want. Say What You Mean. The Secrets of Persuasive Communication

 

_______________

 

Mike Carruthers:
Body language can be very useful in business.

 

Tonya Reiman:
You know for instance if you’re going to interview a client one of the things you want to be able to do is to be able to see their feet – you want to be able to see their legs. So I would say take them to a place where you’re either sitting on the same side of them or on a couch.

_______________

 

Mike Carruthers:
You know that your body language says a lot about you so why not make it say good things?

 

Tonya Reiman:
You want to have good posture because if I walk into a room and my shoulders are slightly slumped over I’m not going to give the impression that I feel confident, instead I’m going to give the impression that I’m kind of trying to hide.

_____________

Mike Carruthers:
Do you remember hearing in school that it's not correct English to end a sentence with a preposition?

 

Patricia T. O'Connor:
As in "I'm all tied up, I can't come today I'm all tied up" - it's a ridiculous myth that we have to sometimes stand sentences on their heads to avoid it.

Interview with Patricia T. O'Connor, co-author of Origins of the Specious: Myths and Misconceptions of the English Language

______________

 

Mike Carruthers:
Did you know that English people didn't use to have an English accent; they used to talk like us. For instance we say "vase", the British say "vaaase."

 

Patricia T. O'Connor:
The pronunciation "vaaase" developed in the 19th Century - they used to say "vase." We know this because of poetry.
