Nonverbal Communication Is Just As Important
Did you know that less than 10% of what you communicate is interpreted based on what you say? Over 40% of what is spoken is interpreted by your nonverbal body language!
Looking directly at the person
Blinking at a normal rate or too fast
Smiling too much or too little
Exagerated facial expressions
Body is facing towards the person who is communicating
Standing up straight, shoulders back
Standing with hands placed on the hips
Physically too close or distant from an individual
Exagerated or relaxed hand movements
Talking too fast or too slow
Speaking too low or too high
Using too much: umm, uh, ah, etc.
Distracting 🤔 Body Movements
Tapping with fingers or feet
Licking or biting your lips
Fidgeting with clothes, pockets or jewelry
Appropriate 👍🏽 Body Language
Eye contact: look directly at the person who is speaking, but do not stare overly intense. Make sure you are blinking normally.
Body posture: face the person speaking to you and slightly lean forward. Maintain a relaxed posture and keep your hands loosely clasped or on your lap.
Head & face: occasionally nod your head and use appropriate facial responses, such as, relaxed eyebrows.
Tone of voice: use appropriate loudness, and moderate the rate of your speech. Make sure to be fluid when talking and use minimal slang.
