Body Language The unspoken communication

What is body language?
Body Language is the unspoken communication that goes on in every Face-to-Face encounter with another human being .
It tells you their true feelings towards you and how well your words are being received .
A simple roll of the eyes or hand gesture may be all it takes to convey 100% of what we mean, no words, no tone, only 7-10% is attributable to the actual words we use in a conversation.

Eyes speak more than the words
“ Face is the index of mind", if it is so, then eyes are 50% of it.

Meeting and presentation
During a meeting or presentation, you know that you are being listened to intently if the listener is keeping his left hand over the right one , with his palms down.

He may also pull his earlobe at the time he is just about to interrupt
