changes. Heart rate, blood pressure, pupil
dilation. Example, sweating or blinking more
when nervous

29. Once you’ve developed your abilities to manage stress and recognize emotions,
you’ll naturally become better at reading the nonverbal signals sent by others.
 Pay attention to inconsistencies.
 Nonverbal communication should reinforce what is being said. Is the person is
saying one thing, and their body language something else? For example, are they
telling you “yes” while shaking their head no?
 Look at nonverbal communication signals as a group.
 Don’t read too much into a single gesture or nonverbal cue. Consider all of the
nonverbal signals you are receiving, from eye contact to tone of voice and body
language.
 Trust your instincts.
 Don’t dismiss your gut feelings. If you get the sense that someone isn’t being honest
or that something isn’t adding up, you may be picking up on a mismatch between
verbal and nonverbal cues.

32.  What you say is a vital part of any
communication. But what you don’t
say can be even more important.
 Nonverbal communication can’t be faked.
 You can’t control all of the signals you’re
constantly sending off about what you’re
really thinking and feeling. And the harder
you try, the more unnatural your signals
are likely to come across.

33.  Nonverbal communication plays an important role in how we convey meaning
and information to others, as well as how we interpret the actions of those
around us.
 Nonverbal behaviors and actions is to consider it in groups. What a person
says along with his/her expressions, appearance, and tone of voice might tell
you a great deal about what that person is really trying to say.
 Even when you're silent, you're still communicating nonverbally.
