A guide to non-verbal communication
Introduction
Most of our communication is non-verbal. Non-verbal cues
include facial expressions, eye gazes, gestures and tone of
voice. Depending on the culture, non-verbal communication can
mean different things to different people.
Facial expressions
Facial expressions are made up of numerous amounts of
nonverbal communication. It is the most difficult types of
nonverbal communication to master the subtle meanings and to
be able to catch
Some facial expressions are similar where ever we are in the
world. Human faces communicate happiness, sadness, anger and
fear.
The overall appearance of the face offers information about
age, sex, race, ethnicity, and even status

The eye gaze
Looking, staring and blinking can also be important nonverbal
behaviors, when people encounter people or things that they
like, the rate of blinking increases and pupils dilate. Looking at
another person can indicate a range of emotions, including
Interest
Hostility
Attraction

Very young children, even before they can talk begin to initiate
social interaction with their parents and others around them.
Gestures
Animated hand gestures are used in everyday conversations and
by some public speakers. While this can be distracting when
used excessively, studies suggest that moving the hands while
talking can improve memory.
Clutching objects or fiddling with hair or clothing indicates
anxiety, so be aware of the signals you send out when using
these gestures.
Conversely, using strong direct hand gestures when making a
point or delivering a speech adds more authority to your words.
Gestures (cont.)
Fist-pumping and finger-pointing are considered insulting in
certain cultures, so be careful when using these gestures around
people you don’t know well.
Tone of voice
Your tone of voice can convey a wealth of information, ranging
from enthusiasm to disinterest to anger.
Start noticing how your tone of voice affects how others
respond to you and try using a tone of voice to emphasize ideas
that your want to communicate
If you want to show genuine interest in something, express your
enthusiasm by using an animated tone of voice.
Conclusion
We communicate information in many ways, always pay
attention to things like, facial expressions, eye contact, and
gestures and tone of voice.
All of these signals can show important information that isn’t
put into words. By paying close attention to other peoples
unspoken behaviors, you will improve your own ability to
communicate nonverbally.
