Use Body Language To Your Advantage

It is highly important to send across positive body gestures, as it is equally important to listen and speak to get your message across. When it comes to effective communication, the way you speak matters as much as body language, a simple hand gesture has the potential to give a positive and negative message, so it is a must to have a grip on your body language.

An expression shown via eyes and face doesn’t go unnoticed by the listeners because when you speak everyone will be focused on you until you bore them out of their minds. The point is to become the master of effective communication, it is vital to have mastered these ‘small-yet-vital’ things as well, since body language, and listening to others plays a major in effective communication. 

Take a look at the few pointers of how face expressions, and eye establishes some rapport in convincing and gets your points across to the audience without any ado:

Use Face Expressions That Radiate Positivity: at all times, make use of your face expressions, but consciously so that it doesn’t give out any negative message as it will, if you are not careful. At any cost steer clear away from negative expressions, such like frown, raised eyebrows. But the fact is what is negative and what is not is totally dependent on the context, which includes cultural context.

Establish Eye Contact: eye contact establishes whatever that you are saying, it carries punch, get what I mean? At all times, especially during a conversation, or presentation, it is imperative to look into each and every person’s eye to make your point sink in. When I say make eye contact with the other person eye, I meant a passing look and not a stare, which would definitely scare the person away, so just a glance for a reasonable period of 2-3 seconds will suffice. 

Breathe In And Out: you may think what’s breathing and pausing got to do with excelling in effective communication? It does. There is power in pausing. When you pause for a sec or so, the audience gets piqued with curiosity so they lean in and listen, which gives considerable time for the listeners to get the message understood.
