Body Language Nonverbal Communication
Body language nonverbal communication can be the most effective type of communication. Socially, this is the fist impression people see from you. Lots of people use this type of communication in their everyday job, like teachers. For parents this can be a very effective tool in communicating to their kids. Everyone wants to make a good first impression. Unfortunately, people do judge you on your appearance. In job interviews, how we present ourselves, can make all the difference in getting a job. Making good eye contact, being an attentive listener. Good hygiene, and being dressed well all are excellent tips when you are looking for a job. When you are giving a presentation for work to a boss or a client. Your mannerisms make all the difference. If your presentation or appearance is sloppy, then right off the bat your message is getting missed. The only thing you are telling those people is you are not prepared. Socially, if you see someone smile at you on the street, you are more likely to smile back. If you see someone with dark clothes, hunched over, hands in their pockets looking down at the ground, you are most likely not going to ask that person for directions. Teachers are great examples of people who have to develop excellent body language nonverbal communication. Controlling 30 kids at a time in a class, and teaching a lesson can be difficult. They have to be able to silence a student with a look, or the snap of a finger. This gets the student back on track, and the lesson has not been interrupted. Teachers are well known for multitasking and nonverbal communication is excellent for this. A teacher can write something on the board, quiet a student, and send another out of the room, all without saying a word. Talk about good presentation. Body language nonverbal communication is also an effective tool for parents. Running a family can be overwhelming, and kids can get into all kinds of mischief. This type of communication can be effective for all types of activities. If your child is yelling in church, bringing your fingers to your lips to silence them. Running through the house, a snap of the fingers, or clap of the hands to slow them down. And of course the dreaded look from mom that lets you know that something inappropriate was just said. Body language nonverbal communication is an overall effective tool because of its nature. In life it is how you present yourself for people to see. For a teacher it it recognizing the behavior, without getting off track. And for the parent it is an excellent cue in developing a good family. |
