Nonverbal cues can enhance your persuasive abilities from "summary" of O que todo corpo fala by Joe Navarro,Marvin Karlins
Nonverbal cues play a crucial role in our ability to persuade others. Whether we are trying to convince someone to see things from our perspective or to take a specific course of action, our body language can significantly impact the effectiveness of our communication. When we use nonverbal cues effectively, we can enhance our persuasive abilities by adding depth and nuance to our words. For example, maintaining good eye contact shows confidence and sincerity, making our message more believable and compelling. Similarly, using gestures to emphasize key points can help to capture the listener's attention and drive home the importance of our arguments. Moreover, our posture and body movements can convey subconscious signals that influence how others perceive us and respond to our requests. Standing tall and maintaining an open stance can project authority and credibility, making us more persuasive in the eyes of others. On the other hand, slouching or fidgeting can undermine our message and reduce our persuasiveness. In addition, mirroring the body language of the person we are trying to persuade can help to build rapport and establish a connection on a subconscious level. By subtly mirroring their gestures, expressions, and movements, we can create a sense of unity and mutual understanding that makes it easier for them to be receptive to our message.- By paying attention to our nonverbal cues and using them strategically, we can enhance our persuasive abilities and increase the likelihood of achieving our desired outcomes in any interaction. Whether we are giving a presentation, negotiating a deal, or simply trying to persuade someone to see things our way, our body language can make all the difference in how our message is received and acted upon.
