Tactics for Effective Nonverbal Communication
We have provided you with some key techniques you can use to monitor your conversation style.
1. Be aware of rules for attentiveness during conversation. Example: The constant maintenance of eye contact while listening during a conversation often violates a conversational rule in some cultures.
2. Be aware of different rules for taking turns during conversation. Example: In some cultures people frequently perceive “breaking in” to reinforce or disagree with another's point to be perfectly permissible, even desirable.
3. Cultures may use different standards for loudness, speed of delivery, silence, attentiveness and time to respond to another's point. Example: Many societies place high value on contemplation and tend, therefore, to feel little responsibility to make immediate responses during conversation.
