Non-Verbal Communication (Body Language)

Words account for just 7% of the meaning in speech according to Albert Mehrabian.

Before you even say a word, you transmit impressions, favorable or not, through nonverbal communication, the conscious or subconscious transmission and reception of unspoken messages.

• Your walk,
• Your posture,
• Your facial expressions,
• Your eyes,
• Your clothing,
• Your grooming, &
• Your gestures.

We have all heard a number of sayings and phrases that clearly demonstrate the importance of nonverbal communication, such as:

“Actions speak louder than words.”

“It wasn’t so much what he said, but how he said it.

“She had a look that could kill.”

We cannot, NOT communicate.  We communicate simply by being alive.
