Many research studies show people have more trust in nonverbal communication over the spoken word.
Nonverbal communication is when a person conveys their thoughts, feelings and mood through visual rather than verbal cues.
These visual signals include:
– Facial expressions
– Eye contact
– Subtle (and not so subtle) gestures
– Tone of voice
– Touch
– Posture
– Personal space
These physical signals are essential, especially if you are looking to impress an employer with your interpersonal skills.
