In team discussions, how can I use nonverbal communication techniques to subtly guide opinions so that others unconsciously support my views?

You can use nonverbal communication techniques to subtly guide opinions by using gesture, body language and eye contact. Positive affirmations and silence can be used to show support for your ideas, while crossing arms or furrowing of eyebrows can be a way of expressing doubts and discouraging others from supporting an opinion. Additionally, nodding your head or making encouraging sounds let those in the conversation know that you are actively listening and support their input. All these subtle cues can guide the direction of opinions without directly expressing them which helps people unconsciously align their beliefs with yours.

Through nonverbal communication techniques, you can subtly guide opinions by maintaining direct eye contact with other team members and giving verbal cues such as repeating information in your own words or encouraging others to contribute. By speaking at a slow pace and nodding slightly, it will encourage discussion while reinforcing your point of view without even realizing it.
