Body language often has great impact in transmitting messages to the listener.
When your nonverbal signals match up with the words you’re saying, they increase trust, clarity, and rapport. When they don’t, they generate tension, mistrust, and confusion. If you want to become a better communicator, it is important to become more sensitive not only to the body language and nonverbal cues of others, but also to your own.
Even the infamous Donald Trump makes use of gestures to get people to listen to him on his presidential campaign. If he can do it, there’s no reason you can’t.
