Document Summary
Nonverbal communication all behaviors, other than the spoken words, that communicate messages and create shared meaning between people: 65% of messages are nonverbal, verbal and nonverbal work together to make meaning. **the idea of setting is extremely important in interpreting nonverbal communication. Improving the effectiveness of your nonverbal communication: be aware of your behaviors, put nonverbal communication in context. The more tacit a behavior is the more nonverbal it is. The more explicit a behavior is the more verbal it is. Tacit understood or implied without being stated; unvoiced or unspoken. Explicit fully and clearly expressed or demonstrated; leaving nothing implied. Single channel can only speak one word at a time. Multiple channels we are bombarded with multiple messages (kinesics behavior) **the worst thing you can do is script your nonverbal behaviors! Sensorial involvement you should listen with all of your senses, not just your hearing.
