Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact podcast. Justin Stewart here,

episode 1,690. We're at 1,690. And today we're talking about the importance of body language,

the way you carry yourself. How do you carry yourself? How do you enter a room? How do you want to

present yourself when you are doing a presentation, when you're playing your sport, when you're

coaching your team? This one particularly is for leaders, captains, parents. When a stressful

situation hits, those who you lead, your friends,

your family members are going to look to you.

They're going to see your response.

They're going to see your actions.

They're going to see how you carry yourself.

They're going to watch your facial expressions.

They're going to watch how you treat people. They're going to watch how facial expressions. They're going to watch how you treat people.

They're going to watch how you respond when things go bad.

And the way you respond to stress will be the way others respond to stress.

The way you respond to success will likely be the way others respond to success, especially

if you are a leader.

And so today's invitation and reminder simply is to be mindful of the way you carry yourself.

Be mindful of the way you treat others. Be mindful of the way you walk into a room, the energy

you have, the positivity you have, or lack thereof,

it can have an effect on everybody.

It's been said that attitude is one of the most important decisions you make every single day.

Attitude, positivity, all that kind of stuff is contagious.
