Tips for improving nonverbal communication

Tips for improving nonverbal communication

• Practice observing people. Observing how others use body language can teach to receive and use nonverbal signals when conversing with others.
• Be aware of individual differences. People from different countries and cultures tend to use different nonverbal communication gestures, so it’s important to take age, culture, religion, gender, and emotional state into account when reading body language signals.
•  Look at nonverbal communication signals as a group. Don’t read too much into a single gesture or nonverbal cue. Consider all of the nonverbal signals you receive, from eye contact to tone of voice to body language.
• Use nonverbal signals that match up with your words. Nonverbal communication should reinforce what is being said, not contradict it.
• Adjust the nonverbal signals according to the context. The tone of voice should be different in different contexts. Also the emotional state and cultural background of the interacting person should be taken into account.
• Use body language to convey positive feelings even when you're not actually experiencing them. It will make you feel more self-confident and help to put the other person at ease.

Public Speaking

                       The art of speaking publicly can be shaped through confidence and practice. Knowing what to do when is the key. It should look natural and easy, flow subtly and not seem mechanical. 

                       Public speaking is the process of speaking to group of people in a structured, deliberate manner to inform, influence or entertain the listeners. In public speaking, there are five basic elements-

1. Who is saying  
2. What is said 
3. To whom it is said 
4. What medium is used 
5. What are the effects

                            Good orators should be able to change the emotions of their listeners, not just inform them. Interpersonal communication and public speaking have several aims like motivating, leadership development, personal development, large group communication and mass communication. Public speaking can be a powerful tool to use for purposes such as motivation, influence, persuasion, informing, translation or simply entertaining.
