Three Keys To Powerful Body Language By Lois Melbourne

Body language has a great deal to do with communication and it is believed that body language is

They say a picture paints a thousand words, and the same can be said for Body language. Body language definitely plays a big role in influencing communication, by observing body language alone it makes it easy for you toidentify whether somebody shows interest or puts value in what you are saying. It also allows you to make pre judgements about an individual. For instance an audience or an individual can perceive a speaker/someone as arrogant based on the body language he makes and not the content. Making body language a priority for effective communication.

Body language shows when a person is confident by the way they look, someone who is standing tall, loud and clear voice, someone who looks like they belong to be there and speak their mind. Body language can also depict someone who is nervous, nervous wispy voice, hunched over, arms crossed, and not fluent in what they are saying. Rhetorically, someone can hide behind a screen or piece of paper and show their mask of who other people think they are in the way they write. Body language can bring out the inner truth of a person, and how they communicate their intelligence unto others. People strive for the truth of a person or an idea, so body language is one of the most reliable ways to find someone’s true

Kinesics in communication does not only have to do with facial expressions, however – it also includes body movement, posture, and gesture (Dynel, 2011). A communicator can manipulate their body in ways that can potentially exaggerate whatever it is

I am originally from Puerto Rico, which is a country in which communication is an integral part of society. The cultural norm of the Puerto Rican culture is to speak up when necessary and communicate clearly if we want things to be done. At the same time, I believe that in order to produce results, the manner in which communicating takes place, is an extremely important component. My culture also showed me how the emotions used when communicating, such as the use of the hands and body language, will dictate the tone and flow of the communication. The literature suggests that the majority (as much as 76%) of the message we gibe to another person during conversations is carried by non-verbal or para-verbal communication. Thus, we must be very careful and strategic in our use o non-verbal communication (Van Acker, 1997).

Killaq Enuaraq-Strauss is constantly using body language throughout her video response to Ellen DeGeneres’s statement that seal hunting is cruel and inhumane. Enuaraq-Strauss uses her hands, eyes, mouth, and head to communicate with those who are watching her video.

Body language is the most important aspect of face-to-face communication. Anything you say can be enhanced or undermined by how you sit or stand or how you move your eyes. If you look bored then the audience will be.

Body language is “the conscious and unconscious movements and postures by which attitudes and feelings are communicated” (Merriam-Webster 's online dictionary, 2016). We may study the way body language affects people’s actions, such as knowing when a person is in love,

To communicate effectively we must understand and ‘apply’ the ‘rules’ of the structure used in language and be able to vocalise this through speech. We must also hear and understand the speech of others through our ability to listen and to interpret body language and facial

It can show: Happiness, sadness, frustration, confusion, disbelief, nervousness, and if we’re fabricating a story or recalling a memory

Throughout the speech, the speaker used nonverbal communication many of times. To begin, he was constantly using his hands as he spoke to place emphasis on what he was saying and draw the listener in. Further, his entire body moved as he spoke which shows the listener that he is interested and engaged in what he is speaking about. Finally, as stated above, direct eye contact was not lacking in this speech which gives the listener the feeling that not only is the speaker interested in what he is talking about but that they should listen to him because he is powerful and knowledgeable in this area. Overall, nonverbal communication was of quality but I would

Reflecting to when I was actively listening to the speaker I can see my three main strengths which are, Posture of involvement where I maintained an open position, I was relaxed which indicated I was listening to the speaker, I believe I had great eye contact, as I was not staring at the speaker, I was softly looking at the speaker and her hand gestures. As the speaker entered the room I asked her ‘If she was comfortable with the Surroundings/environment.’ Which is the skill of Non- Distracting Environment. The area that I need to further my learning development in is Appropriate Body Language as I reflect on this skill set

Martin Luther King began the speech very rigid, upright and formal. It was obvious King was very nervous at the beginning of the speech, as the speech went on he began to feel relaxed and show passion. He stood taller and taller as the speech went on and was very effective in getting his point across. Barack Obama was very similar but was confident from the outset. Obama was very confident and knew exactly what to say and when to say it, he would often turn his body in all range of motions to involve the crowd in the room. Obama was very engaging with the crowd and would often raise one hand to emphasise a specific point. Noel Pearson didn’t involve much body language throughout is speech as he was in a very respectful state. Obama displayed the most body language and gestures as his was very confident in what he was saying from the

I am one of those who suffer from butterflies, that uncomfortable feeling in my chest and stomach, before speaking in public. This is not only a problem for myself, but it is also a common fear and a concern for many people. My purpose is to denounce a few dynamics I feel have helped me to become a more effective speaker and to manage my butterflies. I will prove to you that strong body language makes ideas and feelings more clear, vigorous and engaging. First, I will show how eye contact unconsciously engages the audience. Second, I will prove that vocal emphasis is the key to a vigorous speech. Third, I will confirm that gestures reinforce the ideas of the speech, making the speech

Body Language is one of the important way that helps people understand others even though they are facing a stranger. Body language can be divided into sight language, eye contacting, posture, gesture,manner, facial expression and movement.Now that Naheed Nenshi is elected to be a mayor in the Calgary, he must have some attractive features that arouse people to vote for him. Body language that used by him is one of them. This nonverbal communication is influenced by people’s thoughts, feeling and psychology. Nenshi’s body language plays a positive role as he spreads his idea through media. In a word, Naheed’s body language helps to improve people’s approval. The affection of Naheed Nenshi’s body language not only reflected by people’s approval, but also shortening the distance between the officer and citizen by establishing a friendly atmosphere.
