nonverbal communication.
What is Body
Language ?

language, body
language has words,
sentences and
punctuation.
• Each gesture is like a
single word and one
word may have several
different meanings.

are communicating through verbal means might
not be exactly similar to the one which we are
delivering from our non-verbal means i.e. BODY

the chair,

occasionaly,

downcast head.

most reliable indicators of
a person’s attitudes,
emotions & feelings.
• By analysing facial
expressions,
interpersonal attitudes
can be discerned and
feedback obtained.

their true emotions. The
term Poker Face describes
such people.

interest you must maintain eye contact.
 The easiest way to maintain eye contact
naturally is to look at the persons whole face
above the tip of their nose

24. Frowns:unhappiness, anger

27. The Most Attractive And Trustworthy
Facial Features

28. “Don’t judge a book by its
cover” is an age old saying we
should all follow. However,
various scientific studies have
shown that we can’t exactly
help it. Our brains
automatically come up with a
first impression based on
what we see. When we meet
someone for the first time,
different visual cues heavily
influence how we feel
whether we know it or not.

30. Hand Gestures

31. Tightly clenched hands usually
indicate that the person is
experiencing undue pressure.
It may be difficult to relate to this
person because of his tension and
disagreement.

32. Crossed arms
tend to signal
defensiveness.
They seemingly
act as a protective
guard against an
anticipated attack
or a fixed position
which the other
person would
rather not move.

33. Conversely, arms open and
extended toward you
generally indicate openness
and acceptance.

34. POSTURE

35. One of the first key things people notice is how to carry
and present your self.

36. Generally, people who walk fast and swing their arms freely tend
to know what they want and to go after that.

37. People who walk
with their shoulders
hunched and hands
in their pockets tend
to be secretive and
critical. They don’t
seem to like much of
what is going on
around them.
