Body Language: Be Respectful, Not Relaxed
When it comes to body language, most people are able to read the potential emotional or mental state of their peers pretty well. But what are you saying with your own body language? This post from FoodService.com explains how body language can either hinder or help you if you’re trying to apply for a job, impress a potential mentor, or simply provide excellent customer service to your diners. The biggest rule explored here? You have to strike a balance between looking confidently relaxed, or arrogantly so.

Don’t underestimate the power of keeping your body language in check in the right settings.
