When you are struggling with your emotions or out of control in tough conversation with an employee, you are not in "the Zone". Often you will find yourself physically collapsed or leaning forward or back as your body tightens. With 70+% of communications being non verbal, you have to ask yourself what message you are sending? 

A great first step to take tin comming back to center is to physically reposition your body. Step back, go vertical, exhale, loosen your shoulders and neck. Let your body guide you to a new way of looking at the issue. Get your head, heart and hara all aligned. Obama is a great example of this, he is very cool under pressure. It is interesting to watch the effect on others as you reposition, often time they immediately soften and become more open to you. Note this approach is not retreating but actually taking a position that more stable and grounded.

This week when you find yourself in personality, take a few seconds to actually physically Reposition to Rebound. See what happens to you and your issues!
