The most important part of speech

 

Most of what you want to share can’t be said. At least, not in traditional words.

From The Nonverbal Group:

Dr. Albert Mehrabian, author of Silent Messages, conducted several studies on nonverbal communication. He found that 7% of any message is conveyed through words, 38% through certain vocal elements, and 55% through nonverbal elements (facial expressions, gestures, posture, etc). Subtracting the 7% for actual vocal content leaves one with the 93% statistic.

Our communication style as a species isn’t so verbal after all. Most of what we have to say comes through our bodies, our tones — the key elements that give us away.

Speak the truth; after all, your body’s going to whether you like it or not.
