Reading Nonverbal
Communication Cues
We derive a large percentage of the meaning from the non-verbal cues that the
other person gives. Often a person says one thing but communicates something
totally different through vocal intonation and body language.

“the most important thing is to hear
what isn’t being said.”
Peter Drucker
• Studies show that your words account for only 7% of the messages you convey. The remaining 93% is non-verbal.
![Page 8: Non Verbal Communication](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546e7071b4af9f4a548b4673/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Humans use non-verbal communication because
•Words have limitations
•Nonverbal signal are powerful
•Nonverbal message are likely to be more genuine
•A separate communication channel is necessary to help send complex messages

Nonverbal cues can
play five roles:Repetition: they can repeat the message the person is making verbally
Contradiction: they can contradict a message the individual is trying to convey
Substitution: they can substitute for a verbal message.
Complementing: they may add to or complement a verbal message.
Accenting: non-verbal communication may accept or underline a verbal message.

• Of course we can easily misread these cues especially when communicating across cultures where gestures can mean something very different in another culture.
For example, in American culture agreement might be indicated by the head going up and down whereas in India, a side-to-side head movement might mean the same thing.

the voice. Various acoustic properties of speech such as tone, voice, pitch, loudness, intonation e.t.c
