What you say is often far less important than how you say it. One of the harbingers of success is understanding how nonverbal cues such as body language, dress, and demeanor affect how you are perceived and understood. In this book Arif Anis, Psychologist, personal development coach and author of 'Follow Your Dream' demonstrates how to modify your subconscious statements to your greatest advantage and also read what other people are 'saying' nonverbally. These skills will increase your ability to accurately assess moods, decode behaviors, anticipate problems, avoid hidden pitfalls, influence negotiations, and understand the secret motivations of those around you.
As designers, we are lucky enough to get to interact with many different types of people during the course of our work. We observe people using technology and proposed design solutions. While working on our projects, we collaborate directly with our team, clients, and stakeholders to bring a solution to life. All of this interaction exposes us to lots of body language. The language of the body offers up many hints and insights into what people are thinking and feeling. It’s been said that our bodies tell what is really on our minds, and it’s important to know not only what others might be telling you but what you could be telling them.
It’s important for designers to have a fundamental understanding of body language and what are key signs to look for when interacting with users or project teams. There are key patterns that, when observed correctly, can tell you if someone is supportive of your idea, hiding their true feelings, or simply sitting back and daydreaming the meeting away.
Observing non-verbal communication cues is only one side of the coin, though—the other side being your own body language. Inherently knowing the patterns and signs of the body opens your eyes to the messages you might be giving off. The ability to manage your own body language is something that can be learned and mastered, helping you become a better collaborator and communicator.
Participants will walk away from this session with basic knowledge of how to read and respond to common non-verbal communication patterns and learn how to better manage their own non-verbal communication. They will be armed with additional resources to continue on their path of mastering the language of the body.
The face tells a lot about feelings. When you speak, more than any other part of the body, your face will communicate most clearly your attitudes, feelings and emotions.

2. DEFINITION
Silent (non-verbal) messages communicated through the
sender's body movements, facial expressions, voice toneand
loudness, etc. In social psychology, all behavior in presence of
another person is considered communication. Also called kinesis
communications. See also non verbal communication
Up to 93 % of communication is non-
verbal. Including tone of voice, eye movement,
posture, hand gestures, facial expressions and more.
The pressure of body language can especially be felt in
emotional situations. Body language usually prevails
over words.
3. Types of nonverbal communication
and body language
There are many different types of nonverbal communication.
Together, the following nonverbal signals and cues
communicate your interest and investment in others.
4.
5. Facial expressions
The human face is extremely expressive, able to
express countless emotions without saying a word.
And unlike some forms of nonverbal
communication, facial expressions are universal.
The facial expressions for happiness, sadness,
anger, surprise, fear, and disgust are the same
across cultures.
6. Body movements and
posture
Consider how your
perceptions of people are
affected by the way they
sit, walk, stand up, or
hold their head. The way
you move and carry
yourself communicates a
wealth of information to
the world. This type of
nonverbal communication
includes your posture,
bearing, stance, and
subtle movements.
7. Gestures
Gestures are woven into
the fabric of our daily
lives. We wave, point,
beckon, and use our
hands when we’re
arguing or speaking
animatedly—expressing
ourselves with gestures
often without thinking.
However, the meaning of
gestures can be very
different across cultures
and regions, so it’s
important to be careful
to avoid
misinterpretation
8. Eye contact
Since the visual sense is
dominant for most people,
eye contact is an especially
important type of nonverbal
communication. The way
you look at someone can
communicate many things,
including interest, affection,
hostility, or attraction. Eye
contact is also important in
maintaining the flow of
conversation and for
gauging the other person’s
response
9. Touch
We communicate a
great deal through
touch. Think about the
messages given by the
following: a firm
handshake, a timid tap
on the shoulder, a
warm bear hug, a
reassuring pat on the
back, a patronizing pat
on the head, or a
controlling grip on your
arm.
10. Space
Have you ever felt uncomfortable
during a conversation because the
other person was standing too
close and invading your space? We
all have a need for physical space,
although that need differs
depending on the culture, the
situation, and the closeness of the
relationship. You can use physical
space to communicate many
different nonverbal messages,
including signals of intimacy,
aggression, dominance, or
affection.
11. Voice
We communicate with our voices, even when we are not using
words. Nonverbal speech sounds such as tone, pitch, volume,
inflection, rhythm, and rate are important communication
elements. When we speak, other people “read” our voices in
addition to listening to our words. These nonverbal speech
sounds provide subtle but powerful clues into our true feelings
and what we really mean. Think about how tone of voice, for
example, can indicate sarcasm, anger, affection, or confidence.

lot. We can feel it’s
presence in day today life

expressive way. Body
language gives life to the
persons communication
