Episode 479 - Personal Space, Proxemics and Violation of Boundaries – Guilty?
Studies show how people use, react to, configure, and occupy the space around them. We all want our own space and feel uncomfortable when people violate our personal territory. While it may sound overly obvious, research shows that many persuaders get too familiar too fast. Disrespect for your audience’s personal space—especially when you are first meeting them – you can’t build rapport and cause resistance. Many persuaders don’t know they are violating their audience’s space. They may think, for example, that by reaching out and touching their audience members on the arm, they will be seen as warm and friendly. This can turn off and repel your prospect.
