GSU Debate & Leadership · The Posture Player

Your Body Speaks First.

Before you say a word, your posture has already made a statement. Research shows people form lasting impressions within 7 seconds — and 55% of communication is body language. Select a posture below and see exactly what you're signaling.

The Mehrabian Rule

In any communication, 55% of impact comes from body language, 38% from tone of voice, and only 7% from the actual words. This means you can lose an argument before you open your mouth — or win one before you speak.

A sovereign communicator controls all three channels. This interactive trains the first and hardest one: your physical presence.
