a new student walk up to you slowly, smiles,and say."Excuse-where's the lab?
Do you think they're desperate to find the lab? think about it.
They're smiling openly and approaching slowly with their head tilted.
They are only trying to get to know you.
Body language is the quiet, secret language which is the most powerful language of all.
according to experts,our non-verbal language communicates about 50% of what we really mean.
the tone and speed of our voice account for 38%,while words themselves contribute only 7%.
Non-verbal signals also have five times the impact of verbal signals.
Non-verbal communication is familiar to us from birth.
A baby doesn't talk,nut it smiles or cries to express itself.
Our bodies send out messages constantly,and we don't always realise that we are communicating a lot more than we say.
We understand what someone's gestures and body position indicate ,and we send out our own messages,too-but we rarely stop to think about how we do it.
Rubbing our eyes,clearing our throat, tapping our toes, scratching our nose, opening our arms or keeping our legs crossed all send out strong messages.
