3-25-08: Hand on Chin
Tonya Reiman
Scenario: You are speaking with someone that is sitting there with their hand on their chin as they are listening to you. Solution: Often times, when we listen to others, we might lean in with our elbow on the table resting our chin in our opened hand. This can be perceived as being bored or tired, but it may mean something else. If they are pointing their index finger up towards their ear with the thumb still touching the chin, they might be assessing what it is you are saying to them. You may want to pause and ask their opinions and get some feedback. If their index finger moves to rest at the lips they might be skeptical to what you are saying. Time to change up your approach.
