11. 1. Non-Verbal:
Nonverbal communication is a type of communication that is performed by communication
through gestures, postures, body movements, etc.
Role:
Nonverbal communication can play five roles:
Repetition: It repeats and often strengthens the message you’re making verbally.
Contradiction: It can contradict the message you’re trying to convey, thus indicating to
your listener that you may not be telling the truth.

12. cont..
Substitution: It can substitute for a verbal message. For example, your facial
expression often conveys a far more vivid message than words ever can.
Complementing: It may add to or complement your verbal message. As a boss, if you pat
an employee on the back in addition to giving praise, it can increase the impact of your
message.
Accenting: It may accent or underline a verbal message. Pounding the table, for
example, can underline the importance of your message.

13. Non verbal communication consists of following types:
1. Facial Expressions:
Face is the index of mind. Smiles,anger, fear,etc can be expressed through face. E .g.
If you are happy your face is smiling and if you are sad, your face shows that you
are sad. So, we can effectively communicate through face.

14. 2. Gestures:
Any movement of hands, arms, head, foot, legs,etc is called gestures. We
communicate when we nod the head, shake hands, pointing fingers, etc.
3. Posture:
Posture is critical in making a strong impression. Someone who stands with their
back straight and head held high exudes confidence, assurance, and strength, while,
conversely, someone who is slouched or facing the floor demonstrates uncertainty,
indifference, or even weakness. You must keep your head raised and relax your
facial expression because it shows your confidence.

15. Types of nonverbals communication:
4. Eye Contact:
Our eyes also communicate. This is the first thing, we do to make eye contact with
anyone while communicating.
5. Touching:
It is also a very important tool of conveying a message to others due to anger, love,
hatred,etc. For example: Hugging a child shows love.
