I have not been here in a long while. I thought of moving off to another blog site. I did! But i still am back here blogging again. Don't ask me why cos i don't know myself. Anywayz, it would be nice to talk about adequate expression as key to human interactions.
If as they say, over 70% of human communication is non verbal, then why talk? I'm just kidding. But more importantly, the power of adequate expression can't be over emphasized. The day you'll appreciate it is when you are mis-read or quoted as saying what you didn't say. (this one is funnier). I hear you saying it, but i don't feel it being said.
Whoever you are, a student, teacher, business man or woman, sportsman etc. You need to learn to make complete communication viz- the words and the attendant non-verbal communication.
Gestures like smiles, pauses, hand movements can accentuate the words being said or draw attention off of them thus rendering your attempt to communicate futile.
First, you have to believe whatever you are saying and say it like you believe it. Let your innards propel emotions to your face when attempting to clinch that deal. Give that customer more than they bargained for, an extra smile would cost you nothing and at the same time gain you more customers.
To go through all forms of non verbal communication would be expedient but difficult to do here but i'll try my best.
One thing however that you should get is that whether you are aware of it or not, you are sending non verbal signals all the time. What you have to do now is to observe yourself. Observe your actions, reactions and responses, your hand movements, leg positioning, reflex actions just to mention a few. All these send connotative signals and if you ain't aware of the message you are passing accross, that could be dangerous cos it could be contradictory to what your words are saying. If non-verbal takes over 70%, then it needs to be harnessed and put to good use. We'll pick it up from there next time.
Till then its Hasarla... Creating a New Reality.
