The difference between the words people speak and our understanding of what they are
saying comes from non-verbal communication, otherwise known as "body language." By
developing your awareness of the signs and signals of body language, you can more easily
understand other people, and more effectively communicate and negotiate with
them. There are sometimes subtle - and sometimes not so subtle - movements, gestures,
facial expressions and even shifts in our whole bodies that indicate something is going on.
The way we talk, walk, sit and stand all say something about us, and whatever is happening
on the inside can be reflected on the outside. By becoming more aware of this body
language and understanding what it might mean, you can learn to read people more
easily. By increasing your understanding of others, you can also become more aware of the
messages that you convey to them and become a more effective negotiator.
