I'd add from my feel few remarks. Still the most positive person can direct mixed messages with their body speech. These popular body language points will help you stay focused, and give a positive imprint when encounter new people. Sometimes when you get in touch with a person you unconsciously mirror their body language. If they incline forward when verbalizing to you, you may lean forward as well. The signs that you direct other people can develop a sense of trust and desire for connection if done properly. On the other hand if done incorrectly you can yield disinterest and distrustfulness. "The eyes are the windowpane to the soul," as they pronounce, and this form of link can be as strong as touch. Hi, nice article. I’d add from my feel few remarks.

" This sentence sum up how we can make the world a better place for both ourselves and people around us. A lot of people out there dont really know what they want and make a lot of noise trying to be heard. If we could all stop up a bit and understand the person we are talking with at any given time life will change. I am myself blessed with teaching and coaching in a language I had to learn more or less from scratch this forced me to be much more aware about what the other person actually mean than I used to be. Now it is natural for me to "get behind the words" whenever I interact with another person. All it takes is just to decide to do it and it give you so much in terms of better communication! “Being understood is more important to people than getting what they want. ”

From speaking to my 3 year old in a way that connects with him so that he stops long enough to listen (and I stop long enough to hear him), providing my clients with understanding and an emotional connection so that we can work as a team to achieve their goals and even communicating with the animals I deal with in their primary language, namely body language, to build a bond based on mutual respect. In fact with so many roles to play, it’s easy to forget my own primary communication needs. Love your Nelson Mandela quote, after all, touching someone’s heart will leave a far greater impression than simply speaking to their minds and isn’t that what we should all aim for? An interesting topic Fred,

My 5 year old daughter says to me often “But I want to talk to you!!”, what she really means is “Mom, you’re not listening to me!”

I’m continually learning to speak so I’m able to make the emotional connections I need with those in my personal and professional life.
