I'm Talking Here
"You can not not communicate" -Michael Bernoff persuasion CD
I just started listening to a CD program whose name escapes me. The quote is from the author.
It made me stop and think about it. The double negative makes it sound different. But when you re-read it it makes prefect sense.
What we say is the smallest part of communicating. Our body and tonality make up to 93 percent of the message. So as the quote advises you can not not communicate. Even if you say nothing, you are communicating.
If we are wise, we realize this fact and decide to control the message instead of it being misconstrued by our body posture. I believe we have to adapt a confident posture and voice in order for us to be perceived as better communicators. Once we can control the body and tonality, we can focus on the last seven percent. This can be simply done by speaking a little slower.
Today's question is:
"Are you not not communicating with your posture and tonality?"
