2) THOUGHT OF THE WEEK SERIES by Claudette Chenevert, Coaching Steps
It is important to be completely aware of the messages that you are sending through your body language, choice of words, and even your tone of voice. We speak volumes with our facial expressions, even by the way we look or don’t look at the other person.
Keep in mind that your words account for only 7% of the message you are sending. That means that 93% of your communication is through your body language and the tone of your voice.
55% of the message you communicate is through your non-verbal cues – your body language. Your facial expressions and your posture actually say more to the other person than the words you speak.
38% of what you are communicating is expressed through your voice. When speaking, your tone of voice emphasizes and validates what you are really feeling.
Next time you have something important to say, consider not just your words, but also the message you are conveying through your non-verbal communication; it speaks the loudest of all.
