How well do you understand body language?

“The most important thing in communication is what isn’t being said” – Peter Drucker, International Management Expert

Communicating well is more than just the words we speak. One of the most powerful elements of communication is body language. Although we may have learned to filter and control what we say, most of us have not learned to mask our body language. Our body language is generally something we do unconsciously which is why understanding body language is so useful and insightful when we are communicating. The better you become at reading body language the better you will become at communicating.
