6 Reasons to

Improve your
Body Language

Body Language
When were in school or
at work, were taught to
improve our words.
We learn to improve our
language and words to
impress.
We learn to construct
clever chains of words
to gain an upper hand
and to communicate
more clearly.
But when we grow up
we learn very little
beyond improving our
words.

1. Communication
words are only 7
percent of your
communication.

The rest is your


voice tonality (38
percent) and your body
language at 55

congruent, that is for
your words, your voice

get your thoughts
across in a more
effective way.
