As a general rule, sincerity can be conveyed through warmth, directness, and simplicity. Sincerity is also essential for productive communication. Establishing trust is easy with a firm handshake that is given with a warm, dry hand. An untrustworthy handshake is one that is weak and clammy. One's lip is gnawed to indicate uncertainty. A direct smile exudes assurance.
Eye Contact
Body Language
Facial Expressions
Posture
The manner and length of looking eye to eye is deemed appropriate in business varies greatly across cultures. In the US, giving someone your full attention for about one second is regarded as a sign of reliability.
Facial Expressions
Space
Eye Contact
Touch
Basic information about us is communicated to others by our faces. Fear is symbolized by an open mouth and a wide-eyed stare, while happiness is represented by an upturned mouth and slightly closed eyes. Shifting ("shifty") eyes and pursed lips are signs of unreliability. They might be interpreted by our brains as "a feeling" about a person's character.

Facial Expressions
Touch
Posture
Another effective silent messenger that communicates interest, aloofness, professionalism—or lack thereof—is the position of our body in relation to a chair or another individual. An upright character is suggested by the head up and straight (but not rigid) back.
Posture
Touch
Space
Body Language
The significance of a simple touch varies depending on the person, gender, and culture. A strong handshake is highly valued in the United States. However, both domestically and internationally, handshaking as a competitive sport ("the bone-crusher") can come off as needlessly aggressive.
Posture
Space
Eye Contact
Touch
Standing too close to a colleague (such as an intimate embracing distance of less than seven feet) or too far away from a colleague (such as a public speaking distance of more than seven feet) can obstruct verbal communication in business.
