Why we need body language ????? :Why we need body language ????? All of us are quite good at reading body language anyway we do it unconsciously all day long. In any case, cooperation is still important today and although we have the facility to speak, we TRUST more what the body tells us than what the person is saying. Very often we might have a gut instinct, an indescribable feeling, that cannot be explained, but which tells us something about another person. We need to understand body language because we live with so many other people and have contact with them each day – if we did not have a general understanding of body language we would be in poor shape. 5

Space and Distance :Space and Distance Every person has a natural territory that he/she carries around with him/her. It is important to think that wherever we call “home” – whether our desk in an office or our real “home”, a person is likely to feel more secure. In addition to feeling secure, however, a person also feels possessive of that which he/she possesses – so one should be careful about how one enters the space of another. When we enter someone else’s territory we also make judgements about that person. How is the wall space used? Where is the office/home located and what type of equipment/furniture is on display? Territory also includes the arrangement of our office or home and how people will consequently position themselves. 11

And unlike some forms of nonverbal communication, facial expressions are universal. The facial expressions for happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust are the same across cultures. If your job involves interactions with people where superior communications produces better outcomes, such as more satisfied clients and customers, higher sales rate, or better employee relations. Facial expression plays an important role. 14
