How well you can nonverbal communicate?

One of the business communication methods is one that includes the nonverbal communication. For example, when you meet someone, first contact is essential, and this first contact does not occur long speeches, but it occurs through body language (nonverbal communication).

So, here are the basic principles of body language that will allow you to make your good impression to your dialogist, showing up as an open person, smiling and attentive.



Eye contact

Get used to look the image of the dialogist even since the moment you are in front of him. Eye contact is “translated” through focus in the discussion. This allows you also to see and to respond to your interlocutor feedback. For example, to smile in response to his smiles. However, note that too pronounced eye contact or too long, can be uncomfortable or it could be interpreted as an act of seduction... The ideal eye contact length is estimated between two or three seconds.

If you find it is hard to establish visual contact, start by fixing for a second the pupils or the back of the nose of your interlocutor and smile. Then walk your eyes around his eyes, nose, and his forehead. Return your look on his pupils and then smile. But make sure is just an innocent and little smile, because we do not want him to believe he has something on his face or to think that we find something funny at his face.

The smile.

Automatically smile when you meet someone. This should be a reflex! You would like to talk to someone who seems to com from a funeral? I guess not.  Shortly, just smile whether you are depressed, tired or sad, just smile! This does not mean that you should display throughout the whole discussion an idiot smile; every time you meet someone and you want to send a signal to have the meaning “I am excited to see you and I am open to communicate with you”, smile. It is a very easy rule to apple and it will improve your contact with others people, quickly.

The posture.

At a meeting, do not sink into your seat, sit up straight and right in any circumstance. The next tip is to have an open attitude, do not stand with arms crossed! During the conversation, lean slightly toward your interlocutor, watch him and focus on what he has to say. However, if you are alone with this person in the meeting, do not get to close because this thing might be an inconvenience. On the street, walk straight and watch carefully before moving up strongly. Have you ever seen people walking on the street with their look on the ground and like they are just dragging their feet? What impression did they do?

Watch your image.

You must always dress standards. Adopt an outfit that makes you feel comfortable. Be carefully though that it must be appropriate to the circumstances. Look at those who manage this thing and take them for example.
