A Thought

Introduction• Body language is an important – and often decisive – factor in riskcommunication.• Body language is an element in communication that we should be very much aware of because it gives clues to the character, emotions, and reactions of an individual.• Our state of mind is expressed in our body language. • Knowledge of the body language of the other person and the ability to interpret it make a person aware of his or her own body language. This awareness, in turn, leads to greater self-control and more effective communication processes.• If you are aware of what you do with your body, your self-understanding becomes deeper and more meaningful. Once you manage to control your body language, you will be able to cross many defensive barriers and establish better relationships.• Body language is an important component of communication and it is to our advantage to develop skills in this area in order to be better risk communicators.
