Improving communication in the workplace
Awareness of body language and state of mind
Awareness of body language and state of mind
As discussed last week on the importance of making others feels good in your presence to improve communication, let us consider the importance of body language on the quality of communication.
Whether in face to face or telephonic conversation, before the actual discussion, we are communicating through our posture, quality of tone, eye contact, and facial expression. That is body language. Body language is something others are seeing from you. Your body language is the outcome of your state of mind at any point in time.
If you are happy, energetic, and with enthusiasm, your posture, tone quality, and facial expression would be pleasing to others. Alternatively, when you are angry, fear, sadness, anxiety, your posture, tone, and facial expression would be terrible to others. That sets the quality of communication.
State of mind and body language are interrelated and good news is that you can change your state of mind by changing your body language and vice versa.
For example, when you feel dull, you use to sit with bending posture and your voice may be low. When you stand up, stretch and take a long breath, you feel relaxed and your voice, the expression will be positive.
The point is that you can change your state of mind by changing your posture and vice versa, and this needs to be aware when you are communicating with others as a conscious effort.
Other aspects of effective communication let us discuss next week!
