Verbal communication (talking) is only responsible for about 15% of communication. The majority of the message is communicated and transmitted through body language (also known as non-verbal communication). Consider your reaction about how you might interpret a message from a manager whom you met in the corridor and they asked your opinion on what colour the office should be if they were:

  • Constantly rubbing their chin
  • Had their head tilted at a slight angle
  • Constantly interrupting you and finishing your sentences
  • Nodding occasionally
  • Flailing their hands
  • Looking away from you and not making eye contact
  • Pointing at you
  • Looking flushed and bothered
  • Checking their messages on their mobile phone
