Eye Contact
Keeping a proper eye contact shows you are mentally present and actively involved in communication. The way you
look at someone will reflect some of the strongest emotions and feelings during a social conversation. Rolling your
eyes express displeasure or unhappiness with a situation.
Eye contact helps you:
• Facilitate the connection with your audience in a meeting,
conference, presentation, etc.
• Improve your concentration
• Give confidence and authority
• Retain the important points of conversation
• Express your emotions like sadness, happiness, surprise, fear, etc.
Body Posture
Body posture is the position of the human body and its alignment and orientation
with respect to non-verbal communication. During a conversation, the way you sit
or stand and communicate your body postures to the others depends a lot on your
attitude and emotional state. Before you start a conversation, standing straight and
holding your head high will have a great impact on the crowd.
The correct body postures for effective non-verbal communication are:
• Keep your shoulders straight and body relaxed
• Sit straight while resting your hands and feet in a relaxed position
• While standing, keep your hands by your sides
Appearance
Appearance includes our choice of colour, body cleanliness, properly dressed, hairstyles,
etc. When you are speaking in public, you may be representing your organisation or just
yourself. You should ensure that you are properly and neatly dressed. It also increases
your self-confidence and you will definitely feel good about yourself.
Personal Space and Proximity
Personal Space refers to the appropriate distance during a conversation or
space surrounding each person. Factors like regional culture, gender, age,
ethnicity, or topic of conversation affects a personal distance. While going
in a lift, if a stranger enters, we feel uncomfortable and try making no eye
contact and acting busy. Similarly, if a classmate sits on your seat, you will
try your best to convince him to go to some other place as we have a claim
of our own space and have a sense of control on it.
