Since you were born, you have communicated with many different types of people. Even before you could talk, you were sending non-verbal cues to your parents in order to ensure your needs were being met. As you learned to speak, you started to communicate with sentences and figured out how to ask for what you want. However, you still utilized the non-verbal cues you relied on as an infant to supplement what you were actually saying.
It is important to use that same concept in the workplace. While you communicate on a daily basis with others on campus, in your social life, or in the workforce, you must be aware of the non-verbal communication as well. It is critical to be cognizant of the non-verbal cues you give off as well as making sure you are adept at reading cues from others. By being aware of what is being conveyed non-verbally, you can be better able to form relationships, succeed in the workplace, be a friend, and more.
In the workplace, this can be crucial as you attempt to navigate the office and forge ahead with professional relationships that can produce quality work. Simply by paying more attention to what isn’t being said, in addition to what is actually being said, can be helpful when joining the professional world.
What are some non-verbal cues that you have come across in your day-to-day interactions? What are some specific areas in the workplace that this could be particularly helpful?
