Adjust communication style based on nonverbal feedback from "summary" of You Say More Than You Think by Janine Driver,Mariska van Aalst
When we communicate with others, we often focus on the words being spoken. However, nonverbal cues can also provide valuable information about how a person is feeling or what they are thinking. By paying attention to nonverbal feedback, we can adjust our communication style to better connect with the other person.
Nonverbal feedback can include gestures, facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice. For example, if someone is crossing their arms and avoiding eye contact, they may be feeling defensive or closed off. In this case, it would be important to adjust our approach to be more open and inviting to encourage better communication.
On the other hand, if someone is leaning in, making eye contact, and nodding along, they are likely engaged and interested in the conversation. In this situation, we can tailor our communication style to be more enthusiastic and energetic to maintain their interest.
It is essential to be mindful of these nonverbal cues and adapt our communication style accordingly. By doing so, we can create a more positive and effective interaction with others. This can help to build rapport, improve understanding, and strengthen relationships.
In summary, adjusting communication style based on nonverbal feedback is a crucial aspect of effective communication. By paying attention to nonverbal cues and responding appropriately, we can enhance our interactions and better connect with others.
