To communicate with body language, try using hand gestures during conversations or presentations to show confidence. You should keep your posture relaxed and avoid crossing your arms, which can make you appear defensive. Also, look people in the eye, but don’t blink and look away every once in a while so you don’t look intimidated. If you want someone to feel more connected to you, subtly mirror their gestures and body positions, which will help build rapport and trust.
