Non-verbal communication

Slide 1 - Slide

Verbal vs. Non-verbal: What’s the Difference?

While non-verbal communication involves body language, verbal communication relies on words. There’s more to it than that, however. Proper communication often requires a mix of verbal and non-verbal signals to convey meaning. Consider the differences between these forms of communication and how to use them

Slide 2 - Slide

Delivery
Verbal communication can transpire over the phone, through email, written letters, or a face-to-face conversation. 

Most non-verbal communication happens only when the two or more parties can see each other.

Slide 3 - Slide

Intentionality
A difference between the two types of communication, verbal and non-verbal, is that the words a person chooses—verbal—tend to be intentional, whereas many elements of non-verbal communication can be unintentional or out of a person’s control and impact reception. Non-verbal communication can be unconscious; for example, a person who sweats while talking may convey nervousness..

Slide 4 - Slide

Grammar
Verbal speech has patterns and grammar rules to adhere to, whereas nonverbal communication is more fluid.

Slide 5 - Slide

Authenticity
Non-verbal behaviour like body movements, mannerisms, or physiological responses (blinking or fidgeting) can influence communication, altering the authenticity of your spoken words or causing them to take on a different meaning. Non-verbal messages can be more powerful than verbal communication, as human bodies can subconsciously deliver messages that they are verbally not conveying—“actions speak louder than words.”

Slide 6 - Slide

Emotions
Non-verbal cues are especially powerful when communicating with children. A parent’s facial expressions and tone will often express feelings more clearly than using words kids may be too young to understand fully. Non-verbal communication is also beneficial when communicating emotions between a language barrier.

Slide 7 - Slide

Engagement
Non-verbal signals are a great way to communicate attentiveness and engagement to those around you. It’s not enough to verbally tell someone you are interested in what they’re saying, controlling your posture and eye contact will demonstrate to others that you are interested, whereas looking around or at your phone can express disinterest, even if that’s not technically the case.
