How to Be More Approachable
Here are some tips to help you learn how to look approachable in social situations in the workplace:
Be positive and friendly: If you develop a reputation for being a kind and considerate person, your team members will be more willing to approach you with their questions and concerns. Show interest in what they’re doing and use an encouraging tone of voice.
Show you are available: It can be tempting to look at your phone or appear busy to avoid interactions when you are in a social situation. Instead, keep your head up and be ready to start a conversation at any time.
Use friendly and open body language: Your nonverbal body language can say a lot about how willing you are to talk to others. Avoid looking stern by frowning or folding your arms; instead, smile and keep an open posture. Make eye contact with others and use positive facial expressions. Try to avoid nervous habits like fidgeting, which could make you appear nervous to talk to others.
