Why is it important for sisters to be aware of their facial expressions and nonverbal cues during recruitment conversations?
PNMs read nonverbal signals, and negative expressions (like boredom, distraction, or judgment) can make them feel unwelcome. Positive, engaged expressions help build a more inviting atmosphere.
