Three different forms of nonverbal communication are body movement, facial expression, and eye contact. Body movement includes running, walking, signaling, and body position. For example, someone racing through a hall is telling you she's in a hurry and doesn't want to stop for a casual chat. This person might be signaling he's bored. And if he's folded his arms across his chest, perhaps he's putting a barrier between himself and the meeting.
Facial expressions are a second form of nonverbal communication.
Eye contact and movement are a third form of nonverbal communication. People's eyes can, for example, tell us how successfully we're communicating. Next month, look for an article from me on how forms of nonverbal communication can affect and reflect power relationships. This month's focus is on image. Image has to do with the general impression you convey about yourself and your organization.
