Arm Signals 

• Crossed-Arms-On-Chest is universal and is decoded with the same defensive or negative meaning almost everywhere, commonly seen among,

1. Strangers in public meetings.
2. In queues or cafeteria lines.
3. Elevators.
4. Anywhere that people feel uncertain or insecure.
   

• Most people will take an Arms-Folded position when they disagree with what they're hearing.
• Many speakers fail to communicate their massage to their audience because they haven't seen the Crossed-Arm position of their listeners.
• Experienced speakers know that this gesture means, a good "Ice Breaker" is needed to move their audience into a more receptive position that will change their attitude from negative to positive
• When you see someone take the Arms-Crossed position, you can assume that you may have said something with which they disagree.   

1. The fact is that body language is more honest than words.

• As long as someone holds an Arms-Folded position, a negative attitude will persist. 
• Solutions for Arms-Folded position as a speaker,

1. A simple but effective way to give the listener something to hold.
2. Give them something to do (Giving them a pen, book, Brochure).
3. Asking someone to lean forward to look at a visual presentation can also be effective.
4. You could also lean forward with you'r palms up and say 'I can see you have a question..... What would you like to know or, "What is you'r opinion? You then sit or lean back to indicate that it's their turn to speak.
5. By using your palms, you Non-Verbally tell them that you would like them to be open and honest because that's what you're being .
