The SOLER Technique
Use the SOLER technique while you are listening:
| S | Sit quietly with your arms and legs uncrossed. Crossed limbs can be interpreted as unwilling to listen, closed-minded. |
| O | Maintain an open posture. |
| L | Lean slightly forward in the direction of the speaker. |
| E | Maintain eye contact. Be sensitive though – some people are uncomfortable with extended eye contact. |
| R | Stay relaxed. Pay particular attention to your shoulders and neck. |
