I don’t agree. But, I’m afraid to tell you. I have another idea – but doubt you’ll listen. I have no idea what you’re talking about – but don’t want to
offend you by asking a question. I’m too upset to even talk. I need some time to cool down and
gather myself together. I haven’t really been listening. And, I’m not really interested
enough to ask you to go over it again. I’m ready to pounce – but don’t want to be the first to attack. I’ve got an unformed concern – and can’t quite put it into words. I’m thinking. What seems like silence to you is actually filled with
thinking for me.

it allows you to actually listen to other people’s perspective; it lets your colleagues complete their thoughts without rushing; it provides space for people to express their opinions or
feelings; it makes people feel their perspective is valued; it allows you to organize your thoughts and emphasize one
point or another; it builds anticipation in your audience and allows them to
follow your message; it leaves room in the conversation to allow people to share
something they might want to tell you but weren’t quite ready to do so;

It's well known that good communication is the foundation of any successful relationship, be it personal or professional. It's important to recognize, though, that it's our nonverbal communication—our facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, posture, and tone of voice—that speak the loudest. The ability to understand and use nonverbal communication, or body language, is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships.

body language and use of physical space Kinesics
