 EYE CONTACT

• Regulating communication- signal to others that we are ready to speak or we use it to cue
others to speak.
• Interaction - Eye contact also changes as we shift from speaker to listener.
• To determine if an audience is engaged, confused, or bored
• Making eye contact with others also communicates that we are paying attention and are
interested in what another person is saying.
 
 EYE CONTACT

• Maintaining eye contact as well as properly breaking gaze balance is important

• Holding gaze should be 5-10 seconds or someone can feel uncomfortable.
• Break gaze and take it back.
• If talking to group- shift for every 2-3 seconds.
• When you are listening, the same 5-10 second rule applies.
• Make an acknowledgement.
