Why non verbal skills are important?

 There is a saying that “Actions speak louder than words."

 

From the communication of an infant till an elderly person who cannot speak, patients in hospital or an applicant in the job interview. Everyone at at home or at workplace require some sort of nonverbal cues to communicate. The importance of such communication tool can be better understood by a person with impaired  hearing.

Pay attention and being attentive when one is talking without any interruption expresses that the listener is giving importants to the speaker. It is one of the major mistakes that we make specially in a job interview or while speaking to a child or an elderly person. 

Nonverbal Communication!

The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said. - Peter F. Drucker

Non-verbal communication, an expression of the face, body language in the present world reflects a person’s interest, presence of mind, nature and many other things. When referring to facial expressions or any other type involving the body or gestures, it can be more effective than oral or written communication. Your presence of mind in front of someone matters a lot as the other person judges you from your actions. Would a person like to talk to you if you are continuously moving your eyes in different directions? No, It immediately conveys that the person is not interested in your conversation. Sitting in a conference hall moving your pen on the table, show disrespect to other members of the meeting. Remember the saying "action speaks louder than words". If a person is aware of how to use nonverbal communication properly, then they will be successful either in the workplace or even meeting people on a day-to-day basis.
