When an attendee breathes deeply, it probably means
that he wants to interrupt the conversation and express his point of views.
Observe also other body gestures, such as:
·
Changing the
intonation of the voice.
·
Frowning.
·
Looking down at
the ground
·
Drumming fingers
in the table.
·
Exiting the
meeting room.
You need to detect the inner feelings of each
attendee and bear in mind how this can affect the reaction of the other
attendees. If the topic being discussed becomes “too hot to handle,” it might
be better to re-schedule the meeting at another time. Some emotional people can
exhibit great facial expressions and body gestures. Recognizing them early in
the meeting can prevent any undesirable emotional outbreak to occur.
