Tolls and Keys about Communication

Design:

Most social psychologists will tell you that nonverbal

communication makes up about two-thirds of all

communication between two people or between one speaker and a group of

listeners. Nonverbal communication can portray a message both verbally and

with the correct body signals. There are numerous elements

of what we call body language. They include physical features, both

changeable and unchangeable, your gestures

and signals you send to others at a conscious and

unconscious level, and the space that you use when

communicating with others. The wrong message can be

established if the body language conveyed does not

match a verbal message.

Nonverbal communication strengthens a first impression in common situations like attracting a partner or in a business interview. You have less than ten seconds and realistically close to four seconds to make a good impression on those with whom you come in contact. First encounters or interactions with another person strongly affect a person’s lifestyle. People are more likely to believe that the first things they learn are the truth. When the other person or group is absorbing the message they are focused on the entire environment around them, meaning, the other person uses all five senses in the interaction. “Sight makes up 83% of the impact on the brain of information from the senses during a visual presentation. Taste makes up 1%, Hearing makes up 11%, smell 3% and touch 2%

Nonverbal Communication Improvement Tip 2 Eye Contact: Too little (mysterious, evading or under-confident) or too much (judgmental or intimidating)? Optimal eye contact is about maintaining direct eye contact with short intervals to appear trustworthy and relaxed.

Nonverbal Communication Improvement Tip 1 Tone of Voice: Tone of voice is useful to convey emotions from enthusiasm to disinterest to anger. To practice, notice the tone of voice of others and try to interpret the emotions attached (e.g. an animated tone vs. an agitated tone); notice how others respond.

Nonverbal Communication Improvement Tip 3 Gestures: Speech-related (e.g. Italian style of "speaking with hands" ) or speech-independent , gestures can mean a number of things (e.g. 'ok' means money in Japan, highly appropriate in USA and zero in France). Look for clusters of gestures, as a person's overall demeanor conveys a lot more. Consider the context, the situation and understand the level of formality, before interpreting any signals.

There are a lot of benefits of reading... but here are a few: It expands your vocabulary. It improves your spelling. It helps you understand different ways of life. It helps you understand different ideas. It helps you learn to communicate. It helps us find other people like ourselves. It can be fun to read new stories and find out what happens. It expands your imagination. It helps you know what other people know, so that instead of repeating their mistakes and experiments, you can expand upon them and go farther as a community. It helps you drive from one place to another. It allows you the freedom to find out what other humans have had to say over the years. It helps you know what drugs are in which bottles. It helps when you have to mute the TV because you can read the subtitles and still know what is happening. It helps you go on the internet and interact. I could go on... for days, probably. But that is a start. A few important 'practical' benefits of reading can be: Reading can make one learn not only languages but cultures and rituals of civilizations by making an individual live the past, present or future of places he or she has never been to. It is like a manual to handle a device called life where in there are so many possible situations and options where in what counts is the experience. Reading makes an individual benefit out of the worldly experiences of people and help shape an intellect out of that learning, help take decisions on occasions where in one has to be in the same shoes

as that of any other individual already been there.
