Lesson #3: Go Against the Grain
In the late 1950s, when Johnson was beginning to increasingly use black models for his magazines as well as the Ebony Fashion Fair Show that he sponsored, he began to notice how difficult it was for these women to find cosmetics shades that were dark enough for their skin.

Reading Body Language Is A Strategic Skill In Business Dealings, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
It is essential in today’s world of business to be able to read body language. It is a strategic skill that can give you a real advantage in negotiating and in other business dealings. I strongly believe this because of my personal and professional experiences for more than 35 years and because of what modern communication science has to say about body language. According to Albert Mehrabian, in “Psychology Today” (1968) referring to a personal spoken message – “…… of the total message, 7% is conveyed by words; 38% by the vocal tones, and 55% by facial and body expressions.” In my opinion, this alone confirms the importance of being able to read body language as a strategic skill.

Reacting too soon from your emotions
The way we choose to communicate is important. You are not responsible for how others interpret your information, but you are responsible for your method of communication. We want to be considerate of others and have our intention be understood at the same time. There is a lot more going on than just our words. Our emotions behind our words, our intention behind our message, our vocal tones, and our body language will affect the way our message is received. There is a difference between responding versus reacting. If you react too quickly from your emotions it doesn’t give you a chance to discern or internalize and you are allowing your emotions to control you.

Lessons on Leadership: No Clowning Around
The events around the world have a "what would I do" quality as we watch the rescue efforts in Japan. In leadership development programs a module on the many faces of fear is vital. Think about how you and your colleagues have been discussing world events. Is it in hushed tones with a glint of sadness in your voice? Is someone making silly comments that raise eyebrows and cause groans before they say "I was just joking"?
Enhancing Your Business Language
What we say matters in communication. How we say it is just as important. According to Albert Mehrabian, 7 percent of face-to-face communication is words (language), and tone (38 percent). Over the telephone, words hold more weight because if we don’t understand the language used (foreign), then tone becomes irrelevant. Monotone languages (like Malay and English) are easier to learn, whereas multi-tone languages (Mandarin, for instance) is harder to master as there are four tones.
