In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

Good body language is central to helping the other person feel comfortable and open to talking to you. Sitting ramrod straight in your chair may actually make the other person uneasy. To demonstrate your comfort level, smile gently and lean back a bit in your chair for an angular posture. Or, prop yourself casually against a wall or column if you’re standing. Another way to show you’re relaxed is by loosening up your shoulders. Drop them down and backwards if they're tense. A good conversation involves a connection between you and the other person. You won’t achieve that connection if you’re facing away from them. Plus, turning your body or your feet away demonstrates that you’re actually ready to leave. Instead, orient your body towards the other person. To exhibit interest during certain parts of the conversation, lean forward towards the person. Regular eye contact is essential to keeping a conversation going. You should immediately make eye contact at the start of the conversation. Then, maintain it by looking into the other person’s eyes for about four to five seconds. Looking away is okay, too! Take a few seconds to survey your surroundings before re-establishing eye contact again. Aim for about half the time when you are speaking and 70 percent of the time when you are listening. Sticking to this ratio helps you remember how much eye contact to make without staring someone down. Crossed arms and legs send the message that you’re disinterested in what the other person has to say. It can also make you appear guarded or defensive. If you have a habit of crossing your arms and legs, make an extra effort to relax them at your sides during a conversation. It's perfectly okay if this doesn't feel normal to you at first. Give it a try. Over time, you may come to feel more at ease. If you’re not feeling too confident, you can position your body in a way that makes you look and feel self-assured. When sitting, try clasping your hands behind your head in an inverted “V.” If you’re standing, a great way to power-pose is by placing your hands on your hips during the conversation.
Display relaxed body language. Face the person you're talking to. Make eye contact. Uncross your arms and legs. Power-pose to project confidence.
