Nonverbal communication has been
defined as communication without
words.
It includes apparent behaviors such as
facial expressions, eyes, touching, and
tone of voice, as well as less obvious
messages such as dress, posture and
spatial distance between two or more
people.
Body movements.



Body movement is
important part of
successful
communication;
it reinforces, emphasizes,
and clarifies verbally
expressed ideas.
Gestures.

A gesture is a natural
movement of any part of
the body that conveys a
thought or emotion
or reinforces oral
expression.
Postures

Postures are used to indicate attitudes,
status, affective moods, approval,
deception, warmth etc.
Facial expression.


A facial expression results from one
or more motions or positions of the
muscles of the face.
These movements convey the
emotional state of the individual to
observers.

Touch.

Even a handshake tells
much about an
individual’s character.
The human skin has
hundreds of thousands
of submicroscopic nerve
endings, serving as
tactual receptors and
detecting pressure,
temperature, texture,
pain.
Dress.

Clothing indicates a great
amount of information. It
identifies sex, age,
socioeconomic class,
status, role, group
membership, personality
or mood, physical
climate, and time in
history.
Attitudes most often associated with
clothing relate to :

Even the best verbal
communication skills are
not sufficient to create
and sustain successful
relationships. Good
relationships require the
ability to communicate
with emotional
intelligence.
