Utilize Body Language To Improve How You Communicate - 'Read' The People You Interact With

Body language - who practices that art you may say. Actually we all do, often without realizing it. We get impressions about people we interact with, which can lead us to handle situations differently. That sums up the language of the body. Communication is not just verbal, though that is most common. Being good at verbal communication, getting your point across, is something we can all improve. In fact day to day life gives us the practice. Whatever we do, whoever we are we communicate each and every day.

So what is communicating with body language?

In simple terms it means:

• Observing people, day to day, and look for the clues

• Seeing how they communicate with movement or positioning of their body
• Not just hearing what they say but 'seeing' how they say it
• Noticing that what may be said may be contradicted by their body and their gestures
• Remember that we can all try to fool other people from time to time - but do we succeed?
• All in all - communicate with your whole self

AND don't forget yourself and what you are projecting, the clues you are giving out for others to see . . .
