2. Introduction
 Based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Lee Pritzl is a U.S. Navy
veteran who focuses on bottom line-results as head of
Elevated Performance. Leveraging experience in teaching
and administration, Lee Pritzl has extensive training in areas
such as nonverbal and interpersonal communication.
While facial expressions and gestures are primary in
conveying feelings without words, there are several other
such channels utilized in daily life. One of these involves
paralinguistics, or the myriad vocal meanings not conveyed
by actual words.These include aspects of speech such as
inflection, loudness, pitch, and tone. Often paralinguistic
tells do not exactly match the words spoken, particularly in
public and formal social settings, where specific rules of
interaction define what is conversationally acceptable.
Another area of nonverbal communication is proxemics,
which focuses on the extent to which personal space is
required.This depends on a variety of situational factors,
including the relationship to those being interacted with and
the individual’s relative status, degree of familiarity, and
mood. One general rule is that the amount of personal space
needed substantially increases when speaking to larger
groups of people.
