Research the topic of understanding body language. What are some common body movements that can help you understand how people are really feeling? What does it mean if someone looks up a lot when talking versus looking down or side to side? What does it mean when people cross their arms, touch their noses, or make other common gestures with their bodies? Perform a role-play of common project scenarios, and have people take turns saying something that does not match their body language. For example, someone might say that work is going well on a particular task when it is not.
