The Importance of Body Language

Body language is something that some of us register and process without even being aware of, however most people consistently miss the valuable clues to emotions and feelings that body language provides when trying to communicate to others. They say actions speak louder than words and sometimes we can communicate things even without the aid of a single word. No matter where you are on the spectrum of awareness however, an enhanced understanding of body language can positively impact your business and interpersonal success.

The basic fact is this: all nonverbal communication has meaning, and body language can be a rich source of information for any leader. Sometimes it's a cue that you aren't connecting, as body language contradicts what’s being said; other times, it signals when a message is getting through. In most cases, being sensitive to body language can help us support others and build stronger relationships. By becoming more aware of body language and understanding what it might mean, you can learn to read people more easily, which puts you in a better position to communicate effectively with them. What's more, by increasing your understanding of others, you can also become more aware of the messages that they are trying to convey to you.
