How do you feel when you see someone that looks angry?
Itâs a downer
No one will want to interact with you if you look pissed all of the time, itâs just negative energy
Plus, smiling is a sign of confidence and boosts others moods
Donât walk Into any social setting looking like the hunchback
Itâs weak and makes you look low energy
Plus, youâre displaying low status with weak posture
Stand up straight with your chin up & chest out like a god
Walk like youâre proud of yourself
Ever shake someoneâs hand & their eyes are either looking down or darting?
Itâs weak & you probably wonât trust them
Or in conversation?
Eye contact while talking means youâre listening and paying *Attention*
Strong eye contact displays confidence
Use your hands to talk & express your points
Donât stand there like a robot
Using the hands can make what youâre talking about exciting
It can also be used to emphasize
Exciting = positive emotion
Remember, making people FEEL is whatâs important
What do people love to hear?
The sound of their own voice
People care more about themselves, so make them feel good by paying attention to them & by letting them talk about themselves
Plus, people will give more information to talk about with them
This is the key to building comfort with people
Let them talkâ> then listen & relate to them
Pay attention to them
Repeat back what they say
Nod your head yes
And relate to them with your own experiences or stories
Touching people builds comfort
While talking, lightly touch the shoulder or elbow when making a joke or a point
People feel comfortable w/ you the more you touch
Touch = Language
Non verbal communication
Translating how you feel & emotions
Yes, walk into the social setting like YOU ARE A GOD
Yes, also be conscious of your posture and facial expressions
Stroll in with a slow, confident walk that says youâre a billionaire that doesnât take any sh*t
People will notice and be drawn to u
Listen, no one will take you seriously if you spouting and ranting off information at the speed of light
-People wonât understand you
-Youâll seem to nervous
Take brief pauses
Speak slower and emphasize points
This will make you seem more confident
People will break your balls and try to poke fun at you in social settings
You need to remain calm, especially if what theyâre saying is true
Self deprecate and poke some fun at yourself (Not too much)
Agree, amplify & exaggerate what they say
You will appear relaxed and not too serious
People like being around laid back those that go with the flow
DO NOT REACT NEGATIVELY to what they say
It will make you look emotionally weak

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."
We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). đȘđč
I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. đȘđč (sub-thread):
The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC đȘđč
Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. đȘđč
References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". đȘđč
