Interacting with others: The Soler theory

S: Face squarely; by doing this it shows that a service provider is involved with their client. Egan states " the bodily direction you adopt shows the message that you are involved with the client"

O: Keep an open posture:

Keeping an open posture means not crossing arms and legs as this sends a message that you are not involved or really interested in the person talking to you. Egan believed "open posture is generally seen as non-defensive".

L: Lean: by leaning forward when a person is talking to you, it shows that you are involved and listening to what the person has to say.

R: Be relaxed: it is important to keep still and not move about when a person is talking to you.
