Give it a try!
How many different ways can you say, “It’s a wonderful day!”
Give it a try!
Sweetly, softly, sadly, angrily, happily – there are endless possibilities, and each time we speak, we use a slightly different tone of voice, volume, posture, eye contact; all of which change the meaning of the message further.
Behind every posture, intonation, mimic, gesture, appearance – all facets of your individual body language – there is a strong message which is affecting the words you are hearing or using. These physical signals give meaning beyond the spoken word.
As a message sender, AOC teaches you to be more aware of these signals, and therefore in more control of your message. You learn to use non-verbal communication to support your message, rather than interfere with it, and as a result, you become more convincing, confident and authentic in your communication.
As the message recipient, you improve communication by understanding how you interpret the messages that you receive.*
Although these figures will definitely vary depending on context, one thing is certain, Actions Speak Louder Than Words!
