How often do you notice others’ non-verbal communication? How aware are you of your own non-verbal communication?
When speaking, we tend to plan what we will say, the content, and the actual words we will use, however, if we don’t pay attention to our non-verbal communication, then we are missing key ways to engage, connect, build our presence and emphasise what we say.
It’s not only what you say that is important, but how you say it. Body language, the element most people think of, is one part of this, but not the only non-verbal communication dynamic we have to play with.
