Conrad typically carries himself in a slouched posture.
The leader says: “Become aware of your posture; go around the group and tell what your posture
says about yourself to each member of the group.
Complete the sentence ‘I am my posture, and what I am telling you about me is _______!’”
• Maiko tends to speak in a soft voice and with a very tight mouth.
The leader invites her to give a speech to the group and consciously exaggerate these
mannerisms.
She could “become her tight mouth” and say something like: “I’m holding my words and myself back from you.
I’m not going to be open, and if you want something from me, you’ll have to pry me open.”
• Manuel comes across as though he were always delivering a lecture to an audience.
Group members have told him that his voice and his style of speaking create a barrier between him and others. He could be asked to stand before the group and give a lecture, perhaps on the value of lecturing people.
