9. TRAINING SESSION | Non-verbal communication · Understanding body language

· Facial expressions · Posture · Tone
INTRODUCTION:
Nonverbal behaviour like body movements and posture, facial expressions, eye
contact, hand gestures and tone of voice all contribute to how we communicate and
understand each other. Most experts agree that 70 to 93 percent of all communication is
nonverbal.

Nonverbal communication is a process of generating meaning using

behaviour other than words

Nonverbal communication includes vocal elements, which is referred to as paralanguage and

includes pitch, volume, and rate, and nonvocal elements, which are usually referred to as
body language and includes gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact, among other things.
Here are seven forms of nonverbal communication in the workplace and how you can use
them to improve your communication skills.
❖ Vocal Tone
Speaking style, pitch, rate and volume all contribute to understanding the speaker.
Changes in vocal tone during a conversation are also a noticeable nonverbal cue that
contributes to your understanding of the person speaking.
❖ Fidgeting
Are you shaking your knee, biting your nails or playing with your pen very noticeably as
someone else talks in a meeting? This may express to the speaker you are bored or nervous or
are disinterested.
❖ Facial expressions
Since facial expressions are closely tied to our emotions, they reveal what we are
thinking and are perhaps our biggest nonverbal communicators in everyday life.
❖ Head movements
Head movements are especially rich conveyors of communication and one of the easiest
nonverbal cues to understand. Certain head movements tend to be culture-specific, such as
nodding in agreement for within western cultures.
 ❖ Hand gestures
Hand gestures punctuate the spoken word and can offer useful context about both the speaker
and what they are saying. Sometimes hand gestures give clues to the speaker’s emotional
state. Trembling hands could mean the person is anxious or lying.
❖ Body posture
Body posture can be used to determine a participant’s degree of attention or
involvement during a conversation. Bad posture, like slouching, may indicate the listener is
bored or uninterested in the conversation.
❖ Physical distance
Physical distance between people can set the tone for the conversation. An employee who
comes extremely close to speak with you while you’re seated at your desk may
indicate they have something confidential to say.
Functions of Nonverbal Communication
A primary function of nonverbal communication is to convey meaning by reinforcing,
substituting for, or contradicting verbal communication. Nonverbal communication is also
used to influence others and regulate conversational flow. Perhaps even more important are
the ways in which nonverbal communication functions as a central part of relational
communication and identity expression.
Nonverbal communication serves several functions
❖ Nonverbal communication affects verbal communication in that it can
complement, reinforce, substitute, or contradict verbal messages.
❖ Nonverbal communication influences others, as it is a key component of
deception and can be used to assert dominance or to engage in compliance
gaining.
❖ Nonverbal communication regulates conversational flow, as it provides
important cues that signal the beginning and end of conversational turns and
facilitates the beginning and end of an interaction.
❖ Nonverbal communication affects relationships, as it is a primary means
through which we communicate emotions, establish social bonds, and
engage in relational maintenance.
❖ Nonverbal communication expresses our identities, as who we are is
conveyed through the way we set up our living and working spaces, the
clothes we wear, our personal presentation, and the tones in our voices.
Understanding body language:
Body language is nonverbal communication that involves body movement. “Gesturing”
can also be termed as body language which is absolutely non-verbal means of
communication. People in the workplace can convey a great deal of information without even
speaking; through nonverbal communication.
How the Body Does Speaks?
Our human body speaks through the conscious and unconscious movements and postures,
hand gestures, facial expressions, eye movements and touch. Each of these physical
movements of the body parts could be seen as separate words and can be interpreted
differently by other human beings within a given context of communication.

Why is Body Language Important?

Since interpretations of body language differ from people to people and cultures to countries
it is important to learn about them. Body language alone comprises of 55% of total
communication whereas spoken words comprise of 7% and tone of voice comprise 38%.
The Body Language of Posture
Means “an attitude or position of body”
• Each movement of body has expressive & defensive functions.
• The way, in which we sit or stand, walk in walk out tells a lot about us.
• A good posture indicates confident attitude.
Facial Expression
• All facial organs on human face indicates facially expressive message.
• These are hair, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, mouth, chin, nose, lips, and ears, teethe,
tongue etc.
• Facial expressions comes naturally hence it is beyond the control of speaker.
So where is Tone of Voice?
While usually seen as body language, tone of voice and intonation are a separate group from
body language.
For completeness sake, these are the groups that are found in tone of voice:
• Pitch of voice - high voice, low voice, intonation.
• Loudness - Everything from shouting to whispering.
• Breathing - Slow, fast breathing, shaky voice
CONCLUSION
Nonverbal communication plays an important role in how we convey meaning and
information to others, as well as how we interpret the actions of others during conversations.
For business professionals, giving off the right nonverbal cues is extremely important. When
your body language, facial expressions and tone of voice match your spoken words, your
message is reinforced and helps clients, co-workers and prospects better understand you.
However, your efforts are wasted if you’re on an audio-only call, or if you’re trying to
write a blog post that communicates complex ideas, because during these critical
conversations, clients or prospects have no way of reading your nonverbal communication.
audio only calls or text-based tools for communicating leaves your message open to
misinterpretation since studies show that up to 93% of all communication is nonverbal.
Without these indicators, the totality of a person’s statement is impossible to interpret and
understand. If meeting in person is not feasible, use video conferencing technology to meet
face to face and pick up on important nonverbal cues.
