What I'm Not Saying: The Keys to Nonverbal Communication (Communication 101 Series)


We all know actions speak louder than words, and this is true, too, for nonverbal communication. It's not what we say, but how we say it. Research shows that only 7% of all communication is verbal, while the other 93% has to do with our tone, volume, inflections, gestures, etc. 

Sadly, most people don't prioritize the 93% of communication. Words do matter, of course, but what's behind the words matters more. In today's episode I share some practical tips to help you focus on your nonverbal communication and what these specific gestures communicate. 

It'll be interesting to hear how a simple change in intentionality concerning your nonverbal cues will improve your relationship.
