The key to success for personal and professional relationships lies in our ability to communicate verbally and non-verbally.
During a communication our body language conveys almost 60% of the message, our tone of voice conveys around 35% of message and remaining 5% is conveyed through words.
Body language includes posture, movement of hands, eyes, head, facial expression, sounds, closeness, body contact, appearance and stress on words and pauses. All these nonverbal clues speak the loudest. Body language is often done instinctively rather than consciously.
Whether you’re aware of it or not, when you interact with others, you’re continuously giving and receiving wordless signals. All of your nonverbal behaviors — the gestures you make, your posture, your tone of voice, how much eye contact you make—send strong messages. They can put people at ease, build trust, and draw others towards you, or they can offend, confuse, and undermine what you’re trying to convey. These messages don’t stop when you stop speaking either. Even when you’re silent, you’re still communicating non-verbally.
Body language can greatly impact our level of confidence and charisma. Unfortunately, most people unintentionally put themselves in a dis-empowered state. You can dramatically boost your level of confidence by making very simple changes in your nonverbal communication. This is what we will focus on in this course. I will show you exactly what you can do with your body language in order to feel like winner.
In some instances, what comes out of your mouth and what you communicate through your body language may be two totally different things. If you say one thing, but your body language says something else, your listener will likely feel that you’re being dishonest. If you say “yes” while shaking your head no, with mixed signals, the listener has to choose whether to believe your verbal or nonverbal message. Since body language is a natural, unconscious language that broadcasts your true feelings and intentions, they’ll likely choose the nonverbal message.
However, by improving how you understand and use nonverbal communication, you can express what you really mean, connect better with others, and build stronger, more rewarding relationships.
Sometimes we get duped and cheated because we are not able to know the true intentions behind other people’s actions. We take their words on face value. I will show you how to interpret the real emotion behind other people’s words and actions in this course.
