I was watching the Dog Whisper talking about how to handle aggressive behaviour in dogs, one of his tricks was to walk them together so they were side by side (like a pack) as opposed to eye-balling each other (i.e. rivals).  I thought this was rather interesting because I noticed that walking with someone is a very good way of having a conversation.  I believe that when we move the body, it is easier to move the mind.  Also when we are walking we are engaging a lot of our brain in this activity which allows us more access to our sub-conscious mind.

Normally when we say that we see eye-to-eye we are implying we are in agreement, but when in a counselling situation or when we wish to have a non-threatening conversation we will often sit at an angle to each other rather than face-to-face.  However, despite all this, most office conversations are conducted face-to-face.  Perhaps, if you have a sensitive conversation you need to have with someone in the near future you might consider the value of not seeing eye-to-eye…
