Definition(s)

  • If you have ever given a presentation and you forgot what you were going to say, dropped your notes, or stumbled as you began to move across the room, you know what it means to lose “face.” You were embarrassed because you were not performing as a competent public speaker. This is a common scenario that comes to mind when people think about losing face. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Facework]
