Business Nonverbal Communication
Successful people behave as if they know what to do. Becoming aware of certain aspects of nonverbal communication (which is an extremely broad field of study and also very investigated) it can help you in sending messages more easily and prevent the misunderstanding. A handshake can convey a message of acceptance if it is firm and comfortable. When you listen, you need to slowly lean forward, keep quiet and focus on what the person said in front of you. In the above lines, I’ve tried to offer you some examples of nonverbal behaviors that can give feedback and communicate some messages; ideally to be “prescribed” a non-verbal behavior for each job. Until then, use business nonverbal communication every day and every hour!
-The eye contact: get used to watch the image listener since the moment you are in front of it. Eye contact means your attention to the discussion. It also allows you to see and respond to listener feedback. For example, smile as a response to their smiles. Note, however, eye contact too pronounced or too long can be uncomfortable or interpreted as an act of seduction. The ideal period of eye contact it’s estimated between two or three seconds. If for you it is hard to establish visual contact, start by fixing the pupils or the nose’s root of your interlocutor for a moment and then. Then walk your look around his eyes, nose, and forehead and return your eye contact on his pupils and smile.

-The smile: Automatically smile when you meet someone. This should be a reflex! Would you like to talk to someone who seems to come from a funeral? In short, whether you’re depressed or tired you must smile! This does not mean that you should display a bored smile during the whole meeting. Every time you meet someone and you want to send a signal like “I’m excited to see you and I’m open for communication,” you must smile. It is a very easy rule to apply which will quickly improve the contact with the others.

-The posture of your body: At a meeting, do not sink into your seat, you must sit up straight and right in any circumstance. The next tip is to have an open attitude, not stand with arms crossed! During the conversation, lean slightly toward your interlocutor watching him. However, if you are single with this person in a room, don’t get too close, it might be an inconvenience. On the street, sit up straight and right and watch carefully before, moving up strongly. Do you had seen people going to look like the earth just dragged her feet? What impression they left you?
