In seemed to me that a good majority of what the buddies said was already covered in the chapter reading. Probably the most that I learned was the result of watching their body language and how they carried themselves. They appeared to be comfortable in front of the camera. In observing Jessica giving her speech, I did notice how much I was attracted to the fact that she smiled so much. It caused me to have more of an awareness at how critical facial expressions are when conveying a thought or opinion. When she smiled, it gave the appearance that she was at ease in speaking even if she wasn't. Also, it helped draw me in to what she was saying.
People often tell me that I look too serious or too focused on what I am doing. Being able to recognize my own personal reaction to the facial expressions of another will help me to be more aware of the affect my facial expressions are having on others and if I am communicating the same thing through my face that my words are.
