Principles of Non-Verbal Communication Thee are two Principles: Natural and Cultural
Natural Signs • Eye is the best mirror of what goes on in the mind. • Face including eye gives better picture of what you are. • Lip movement, hand movement, leg movement, posture, sweating, trembling, lack of co-ordination, fumbling, increased use of fillers and so on are natural signs of mental state.
Cultural Signs • There are cultural way of understanding your behavior. • Saluting, giving respect to others. • The tone in which you address others. • The gestures that you show. • The way you dress, curtsy talk. • The distance you keep from others.
What you speak? • There should be coherence among what you speak and what you non-verbally signal:naturally and culturally. • If there is contradiction: You say that you are happy and the natural signs indicate you are not. You do not successfully communicate.
