Learning what our bodies say about us to others and theirs to

Our ability to communicate well does not come naturally it must be learned and practiced and developed. Our social happiness and indeed our health both mentally and physically depends on our ability to be able to make ourselves and our needs and wants know to others in ways that make the others want to give us what we need and want on average. We need to have the ability also, to understand on average what others are trying to communicate to us.  Knowing body language is one of the communication skills we need to have in our repertoire, unfortunately there are many others.

Body Language - technically known as kinesics (pronounced 'kineesicks') - is a significant aspect of modern communications and relationships.

Body Language is therefore very relevant to management and leadership, and to all aspects of work and business where communications can be seen and physically observed among people.

Body language is also very relevant to relationships outside of work, for example in dating and mating, and in families and parenting.

Communication includes listening. In terms of observable body language, non-verbal (non-spoken) signals are being exchanged whether these signals are accompanied by spoken words or not.

Body language goes both ways:

• Your own body language reveals your feelings and meanings to others.
• Other people's body language reveals their feelings and meanings to you.

The sending and receiving of body language signals happens on conscious and unconscious levels.Body Language - technically known as kinesics (pronounced 'kineesicks') - is a significant aspect of modern communications and relationships.
