All about the Influence Skill 'Non-verbal communication'

Non-verbal communication is a powerful influence skill. Learn how to use body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice to support what you say and connect more genuinely. Improve your impact, build trust, and communicate with greater clarity and confidence.

The challenge with Non-verbal communication

You might say the right words, but your body could be saying something else. Mixed signals cause confusion, mistrust, or misinterpretation.

What is Non-verbal communication?

It includes facial expressions, posture, gestures, tone of voice, and eye contact – everything that communicates beyond words. It’s a powerful influence tool, often conveying more than speech.

Why is Non-verbal communication important?

Non-verbal cues support or contradict verbal messages. Reading others’ signals and controlling your own enhances clarity, credibility, and connection.

Developing the skill of Non-verbal communication

  1. Observe Others: Notice posture, expressions, and tone.
  2. Align Body and Message: Ensure gestures and words match.
  3. Use Eye Contact: Show attention and confidence.
  4. Mirror for Rapport: Subtly reflect the other’s behavior.
  5. Watch Your Tone: Match your tone with intent.
  6. Practice Presence: Be aware of your energy and posture in conversations.

Discover the theory of the Influence Model®

Influential people have the ability to ‘read’ a situation when it unfolds itself. They think about the different ways of responding to the situation, then use the behaviour that achieves the best result for everyone involved. You are influential when you can apply the right style of communication in the right situation.
