5. WHAT IS BODY LANGUAGE?
BODY LANGUAGE IS THE WAY YOUR BODY COMMUNICATES WITHOUT THE USE OF WORDS. IT INCLUDES HAND
GESTURES, POSTURE, FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, AND MOVEMENTS THAT SEND MESSAGES OF THEIR OWN. BODY
LANGUAGE CAN HAPPEN CONSCIOUSLY AND UNCONSCIOUSLY.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE WAY YOU’RE SITTING RIGHT NOW PAIRED WITH YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSION CAN TELL OTHERS
A LOT ABOUT YOU. BASED ON YOUR BODY LANGUAGE, THEY CAN TELL WHETHER YOU’RE AMUSED OR
CONCENTRATING HARD. THEY CAN TELL WHETHER YOU’RE APPROACHABLE OR IF YOU’RE HAVING A BAD DAY.
THE BODY LANGUAGE IN THIS IMAGE SAYS MORE THAN ANY CAPTION COULD!
IF YOU’RE IN A DISCUSSION WITH SOMEONE AND VERBALLY AGREE WITH THEM, YOUR
BODY LANGUAGE WILL LIKELY REVEAL YOUR THINKING. IT MAY EITHER CONFIRM THAT
YOU INDEED AGREE WITH WHAT IS BEING SAID OR BETRAY YOU AND TELL OTHERS YOU
DON’T FEEL THE SAME WAY.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOUR BODY LANGUAGE REVEALS THE TRUE STORY BEHIND YOUR
WORDS. BUT YOU CAN CHOOSE AND CONTROL YOUR BODY LANGUAGE WITH PRACTICE.

6. POSTURE
WHAT IS POSTURE IN COMMUNICATION?
POSTURE REFERS TO THE WAY PEOPLE HOLD THEMSELVES WHILE AT WORK, IN SOCIAL
GATHERINGS, OR IN PUBLIC PLACES. POSTURE COMMUNICATES A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION
ABOUT YOU. THE WAY IN WHICH YOU SIT, STAND, SLUMP OR SLOUCH PROVIDES INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR STATUS, SELF-IMAGE, ATTITUDES AND EMOTIONAL STATE.
POSTURAL SIGNALS
 OPEN POSTURE CAN NON- VERBALLY COMMUNICATE
EMPATHY, SINCERITY AND RESPECT
 CLOSED POSTURE MY IMPLY DISCOMFORT, IRRITATION
AND ANGER

7. A PERSON WHO IS HOLDING THEIR HEAD UP WITH THEIR HAND IS NOT AS AWAKE AND
ENGAGED AS SOMEONE WHO HAS THEIR ARMS AT THEIR SIDE AND HEAD FACING FORWARD.
WHEN THE HEAD MOVES FROM A LOWERED POSITION TO STRAIGHT OR EVEN SLIGHTLY
RAISED, THIS IS A SIGN OF SUDDEN INTEREST OR A NEED FOR CLARITY.

8. THE EXPRESSION ON A PERSON'S FACE CAN EVEN HELP DETERMINE IF WE TRUST OR BELIEVE WHAT
THE INDIVIDUAL IS SAYING. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE ALSO AMONG THE MOST UNIVERSAL FORMS
OF BODY LANGUAGE. THE EXPRESSIONS USED TO CONVEY FEAR, ANGER, SADNESS, AND HAPPINESS
ARE SIMILAR THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

9. EYE CONTACT
EYE CONTACT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF BODY LANGUAGE.
INSTEAD, FOCUS YOUR EYE CONTACT ON A FEW PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE ROOM WILL HELP YOU
ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN THAT CONTACT. IF THEY LOOK AT YOU, HOLD THEIR GAZE FOR A FEW SECONDS BUT
AVOID STARING AS LONG EYE CONTACT CAN MAKE PEOPLE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.
EYE CONTACT CAN ALSO HELP YOU GET A FEEL FOR HOW THE AUDIENCE IS RECEIVING YOUR PRESENTATION. IF
YOU CATCH THEM YAWNING OR TRYING TO STIFLE A YAWN OR IF THEY'RE LOOKING AROUND, IT’S A SIGN
THEY'RE LOSING INTEREST IN THE PRESENTATION. EYE CONTACT CAN HELP BRING THEIR ATTENTION BACK
AND RE-ENGAGE THEM WITH THE TOPIC.

10. GESTURES
A GESTURE IS A FORM OF NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION OR NON-VOCAL COMMUNICATION IN
WHICH VISIBLE BODILY ACTIONS COMMUNICATE PARTICULAR MESSAGES, EITHER IN PLACE OF,
OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH, SPEECH. GESTURES INCLUDE MOVEMENT OF THE HANDS, FACE, OR
OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY.

11. BODY LANGUAGE IS GENERALLY BELIEVED TO HAVE PLAYED A NOTABLE ROLE IN
COMMUNICATION FOR AS LONG AS HUMANS HAVE EXISTED. GESTURES, FACIAL
EXPRESSIONS, EYE CONTACT, POSTURE, AND HEAD MOVEMENTS MAY HELP US
UNDERSTAND WHAT OTHERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO SAY.
