People who “play high” often exhibit these behaviors:
- Holding their heads still
- Speaking in complete sentences with a clear beginning and end
- Holding eye contact while talking
- Using great, sweeping gestures
- Occupying maximum space
- Leaning back
- Slowing down when speaking
People who “play low” hold their bodies in these ways:
- Placing their hands near their face while speaking
- Speaking in incomplete sentences
- Glancing around or looking away
- Using jerky, fleeting movements
- Taking up as little space as possible
- Leaning forward
- Sounding breathless
Essentially, have charisma and be big, strong, and bold. Speak eloquently and slowly.
I also love that Stanford B School has a tumblr.
