GESTURES
Gestures can serve as a complement to conversation. They can also
indicate engagement, understanding, or disagreement. Nodding to
show agreement, shaking the head to express disagreement, or raising
an eyebrow to signal surprise are examples of how gestures can
provide immediate feedback in a conversation.
EFFECTIVE NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION
How do I communicate with my body?
EYE CONTACT
Making periodic eye contact with your conversational partner can
signal that you are actively interested in connecting with them and
listening to what they have to say.
OPEN BODY POSTURE
Positioning your body in a way that is open can communicate a lack of
defensiveness and a willingness to engage with others. Keep your
arms and legs uncrossed and your body facing the listener or
speaker.
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
A friendly and welcoming facial expression, such as a smile,
communicates approachability and openness. Frowning or having a
tense expression can give the impression of being unapproachable or
uninterested.
