Body language is key to effective communiation

1. It's important to inform you that body language communication/nonverbal communication is deeply rooted in your brain.

2. Body language communication simply refers to the nonverbal signals that we use to communicate in public, office, meetings, and now on social media platforms.

3. According to some verifiable research information, body language communication may account for between 60% to 65% of all communication demonstrated by facial expressions, eyes, gaze, gestures, postures, bad breath(halitosis) body odor(bromhidrosis), and body movements.

4. In many cases the things you don't say with your mouth can convey volumes of information. And so, be wary about your nonverbal communication.

5. Body language can help you understand others and yourself. It provides you with information about how known and unknown people may be feeling in a given situation.

6. You can also effectively use body language or nonverbal communication to express emotions or intentions: reshape a thought or opinion.

7. According to a 1981 study by body language expert, Albert Mehrabian, in effective communication, words are accounted for 7%, tone of voice 38% and body language 55%.

In other words, human beings pay more than 90% attention to body language and tone of voice more than the actual words.

8. It's important to use gestures, facial expressions, posturing, demeanor, eyebrows, dressing, body movements, hand movements, and other non-verbal cues carefully in all your communication.

In conclusion,

Effective Communication is the heartbeat of God's creations and human beings' mission on earth.

All prophets and Messengers of God were discovered and identified by their Creator through effective communication(verbal and non-verbal).

Adherence to His rules and regulations without His presence on earth alone demonstrate an effective non-verbal communication.

The world is under immeasurable pressure simply because of poor communication across our social, religious, economic, political, environmental, and spiritual endeavors.

In Ghana today, some political communicators are the first point of call for scrutiny. I refer to most of them as NOISE MAKERS and not POLITICAL COMMUNICATORS.

Just take your time and analyze the causes of family friction, wars, defective relationships, poor leadership, injustice, broken homes, hatred, animosity, nepotism, favoritism, jealousy, and what have to appreciate the impact of effective communication and the irreparable effects of poor communication.

Have you forgotten the body language that existed between you and your parents? Perhaps, due to the advent of social media some of our current parents including me have changed the paradigm and we are paying through the nose before we meet our Creator for the much-anticipated life accountability on the day of judgment.

Be in the position to develop self-regulation, self-defense, and self-discipline and take full control of your communication as it were to avoid any problem whatsoever.

Please never take your non-verbal communication for granted, it's one of the keys to your success in this world and the hereafter.

Consider thyself as the best communicator and open a new page of effective communication and leave to celebrate yourself one day.
