“We are constantly communicating even when we aren’t talking and when we are talking our bodies are communicating a message that may support or contradict our words,” Mary shared about her presentation. “Our posture, facial expression, eye contact, gestures, tone of voice, and proxemics (use of space) all impact our message. Do you know what messages you are sending? Are you recognizing the messages people are sending you?”
