Body language plays a large role in communication, with some studies showing it accounts for up to 93% of communicated messages. Key components of body language include facial expressions, gestures, stance (open or closed), use of space, and eye contact. Maintaining an open, engaged stance through good posture, occasional nodding, eye contact and smiling can help communicate interest, while crossed arms, poor eye contact and slouching may signal disinterest or defensiveness. Understanding body language can provide important nonverbal context to conversations and interactions.

1. Have you ever heard anyone say, "His
actions spoke so loudly I couldn't hear
what he said?"

2. INTRODUCTION :-
Body language is a kind of non-verbal communication.
It includes facial expressions, eye contact, tone of voice,
body posture and motions, and positioning within
groups.
John Borg attests that human communication consists of
93 percent body language and paralinguistic cues, while
only 7% of communication consists of words themselves.

3. Why is Body Language important?

gives us messages about the other person, that
we can interpret at an intuitive level.

4. Components of Body Language

5. Facial Expressions
 There are some universal facial expressions; a smile,
a frown, etc.
 Eye contact is direct and powerful.
 The use of eye contact varies significantly from
culture to culture

6. Gestures
 Fidgeting shows boredom and restlessness.
 Pressing fingers together to form a steeple
shows interests, assertiveness and
determination.
 Touching the nose or rubbing eyes indicates
discomfort.
 A hand to the back of the neck may indicate
withdrawal from a conversation.

7. Open Stance
 Interested people always have an erect posture, pay
attention and lean forward
 A firm handshake will give the impression of
assertiveness or honesty
 People showing open hands, both feet planted on the
ground are accepting
 A head tilted to the side indicates interest

8. Closed Stance
 Leaning backwards demonstrates aloofness or rejection
 Folding arms across ones chest or body is protective
and gives the impression of a closed, guarded and
defensive character.
 People with arms folded, legs crossed and bodies
turned away are signalling that they are rejecting
messages.
 A head down is negative and judgmental.

9. Space
• There are four distinct zones in which most people
operate:
• Intimate Area 15-50 cm
• Personal Area 0.5-1m
• Social Area 1-3m
• General Area 3m
