5. Introduction
• Body language is an important – and often decisive – factor in
riskcommunication.
• Body language is an element in communication that we should be
very much aware of because it gives clues to the character, emotions,
and reactions of an individual.
• Our state of mind is expressed in our body language.
• Knowledge of the body language of the other person and the ability
to interpret it make a person aware of his or her own body language.
This awareness, in turn, leads to greater self-control and more
effective communication processes.
• If you are aware of what you do with your body, your self-
understanding becomes deeper and more meaningful. Once you
manage to control your body language, you will be able to cross
many defensive barriers and establish better relationships.
• Body language is an important component of communication and it
is to our advantage to develop skills in this area in order to be better
risk communicators.
