Nonverbal communication, or body language, is a vital form of communication—a natural, unconscious language that broadcasts our true feelings and intentions in any given moment, and clues us in to the feelings and intentions of those around us.

Difference between verbal &Nonverbal communication

Verbal and non verbal are all types of communication. But the difference between them is that we use our voice in verbal communication and we use body signs in non-verbal communication.

Importance of Nonverbal Communication

Verbal & nonverbal Communication plays an important role in how people interact with one another. People are using around 35% verbal communication and 65% nonverbal communication in daily life. Nonverbal communication has also cultural meaning.

“The most important thing in communications to hear what isn't being said.”
