The Importance of Body Language
Body language is a potent form of nonverbal communication that transmits messages beyond our conscious awareness. It reveals our true feelings, even when we try to conceal them. Research indicates that up to 93% of communication is nonverbal, emphasizing the profound impact it has on our interactions.
Effective communication requires a harmonious alignment between our words and body language. When these elements are in sync, we convey authenticity and build trust. Conversely, inconsistencies between verbal and nonverbal cues can create confusion, erode credibility, and hinder our ability to connect with others.
