DESCRIPTION OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION – PART 2
It is important to learn and understand body vernacular or what is also referred to as “non-verbal expressions" Body language is the way the human body reinforces the state of one’s mind. It is possible to read body language, which resonates the mind. We need to be skilled at it in order to be able to determine the messages that we or others give out. This is different from sign language, which is the application of body language to convey a speaker’s message. It entails a combination of hand shapes and movement of the arms and body, including facial expressions to convey a speaker’s thoughts. It is a language used to communicate with people who are physically impaired from hearing or speaking. Do you know that there are more than 300 sign languages? That is very intriguing indeed.
We have got to be careful about interpreting people’s attitudes through body language because some people are introverts while others are extroverts. Therefore, their respective body languages would differ. The human mind controls the body. Certain body activities can reveal the state of someone’s mind. Many people are poor readers of body language, but they erroneously think that they are exceptionally good at it. You see, it is possible to be fluent in body language. You can develop the art of reading body language so that you can effectively control and have the right results during communication. We are all endowed with an inner alarm system called intuition.
The art of getting people to do whatever you want and whenever you want is not magic but a skill that can be mastered. It is called “the power of persuasion.” It is one key that opens wide the doors of success. It is a key that all super achievers apply to achieve great successes. The ability to get people to buy your ideas or to agree with you on any matter is an incredible skill indeed. Persuasion is the art of getting people to suspend their skepticism.
The power of persuasion is the process of influencing people’s opinions. It is a tool that makes life more meaningful. The need to effectively convince people to understand and buy into your ideas is very vital. This is enhanced by one’s ability to decode body language appropriately. You see, the power of persuasion can be positively or negatively applied. Those who join criminal gangs are captives of negative persuasion. One key factor that separates super achievers from others is the impact of persuasive skills. When you develop persuasive skills, you will reap the benefits in several aspects of your life. Your chances of being successful in different areas of life are enhanced by your persuasive skills. Persuasion is the ability to get people to do things they may never have considered doing. No one gets married without the element of persuasion. No one gets a job without the catalyst of persuasion. The ability to persuade is not necessarily predicated upon one’s eloquence but upon the capacity to influence people. Persuasion is different from manipulation. Unfortunately, many people deprive their minds of good nutrition. They fail to exercise the muscles of their thinking faculties. They focus more on the acquisition of money and material possessions through any means possible. Listening is a very important part of effective persuasion. It is very frustrating to communicate with people who hardly listen. Such people rarely effectively persuade anyone because their attitude is often irritating. So, if you desire to be a good persuader, you must also desire to be a good listener. Listening is not merely keeping quiet when someone is talking. Listening is the ability to understand what is being said even if you have a different opinion.
