CHECK YO' FACE

Today I want to talk today about communication and the importance of facial expressions. I'm known to make a lot of facial expressions especially with my eyebrow movements when I'm talking. But I really want talk about something called, Checking Your Face.  This is the facial expression you make when you are taking in information.  This is important when you are in HR or in Management because you often hear things that are going to shock you or things that are you going to be displeased by when you are first taking in the information.  Your facial expressions can really affect how the person across from you continues to speak, how they communicate, and even how they perceive how you are receiving the information. So when you are talking with somebody and you're taking in things you don't want to hear or your uncomfortable hearing, just remember to Check Your Face. You don't have to have a smile on your face 24/7 but don't have a scowl or don't raise your eyebrows up and down like me. Really try to be open and empathetic to the person sitting across from you and that will open up lines of communication and allow you to build better relationships.
