Watch Body Language
In a digital meeting, do you find your gaze lingering on your own image or are you truly observing your colleagues? Let's mindfully walk through the silent but impactful realm of body language.
Dating back to the 1800s to the current age of selfies, we have been enamoured with our own images. This week's invitation: Become keen observers of nonverbal cues. With 55% of communication being nonverbal, according to body language expert Albert Mehrabian, this aspect can't be overlooked, even in the virtual realm.
Though it's challenging to decipher body language through a screen, there's much to be understood from the unspoken – a furrowed brow, the posture of attentiveness, or the subtleties of a smile. By tuning in to these silent signals, we can deepen our understanding of our colleagues and enhance our presence in every interaction.
This week, embark on a journey of silent observation. Be present, be perceptive. How has paying attention to body language changed your communication and your mindfulness?
