Saanams Mind

Often while sitting and whiling away time, like at airports or maybe at a doctors, waiting for an appointment , at functions and parties, I indulge in what I call my favorite past time. Watching people, their animated expressions and mannerisms and behavior. It continually holds my fascination for what, we as humans are blessed with. The art of communication. Not just verbal communication but also through body language.

Most of the interviews I conducted to hire people for our enterprise, I put these people reading skills to work & trust me , most people give away a lot through the way they behave, their body language & the way they carry themselves. I wonder why grooming and tips on how to carry yourself is never part of our curriculum when we are growing up.

When a neatly dressed, immaculate person walks in, you automatically know this person is probably meticulous & organized in his work as well. If you find that certain details are given importance like matching accessories etc, you can expect attention to details from this person

Often when a person crosses their hands, it means they are less receptive to ideas. When someone leans forward they are interested , so also if their feet are inclined and pointed to you, when eyes are widened that means interest again.

Voices play such a big role in communication & voice modulation is a very important. The tone, volume with which one speaks , speaks a lot for a person. When one talks loud, he probably is looking for attention, is most likely a bully & needs a few lessons in talking soft.

Why am I emphasizing on improving on oneself and developing a well polished , groomed person with a strong communication? Because communication is the key word here. Often we pay so much attention on verbal communication, we forget that non verbal communication plays a great role in presenting who we are to the other person. So it is as if not more important as verbal communication.
