Now I see You Bai!: Mental Assassin To Hold Body Language Workshop in Cebu on 26 November 2016
For one to succeed in today's competitive world, it has become a need to master the art of human communication. Many communication experts agree that “Communication is 80% body language, and 20% words”. Much of the message we convey goes through the body, regardless if we want to or not. So how can we use this principle to our advantage?
Oftentimes we try to persuade people. We tell them that our view is right and they would be wise to agree. We do this when we apply for a new job, try to sell our products, or even show that we can be great boyfriends (or girlfriends). However, without the proper intuition in people’s body gestures, we can easily fail in this regard. This is especially true in the Philippine culture, where we Filipinos are widely known for our indirect communication. This explains why foreigners would frequently become confused with Filipinos, wondering why some would verbally say yes to request when they really meant no.
Here are a few skills any experts in body language certainly possess:
Disarming negative body language
Negative body language refer to any kind of gestures that communicate disapproval to what you are trying to communicate.
Here’s one situation where this happens with a coffee salesman:
“Hey Miss, are you interested to buy this special brand of coffee? It can benefit you in many many ways!”
“Oh that sounds interesting”, the lady says with a polite smile. But her body slowly turns away, as she slowly folds her arms.
This is a basic example of how negative communication is conveyed through the body, and if salesman does not respond accordingly, he will certainly lose the lady as a customer. In fact, there is a large number of negative gestures to look for when trying to persuade people.
Building rapport
Another essential part of persuasion involves ‘building rapport’. When one builds rapport, the person is creating the necessary connection for a trusting relationship to take place. No one will want to believe or buy anything from a person he/she barely knows. Consequently, the mark of a great communicator lies in how easily that person can build a connection with another.
3. Spotting lies and deception
A few people shrug this skill as the stuff of TV series and novels. However, spotting lies can be quite possible with the right knowledge and experience. The first known person to study emotions and microfacial expressions was Paul Eckman. He proposes that for every emotion we feel, it would always manifest in some way in our faces and bodies.
The truth is, human beings are generally emotional creatures, and what we feel frequently shows in our body gestures.
4. Win respect
This is one of the less known benefits of body language. However, communicating powerful body language can aid commanding respect from peers and authorities. Have you ever wanted to win respect from your boss? Try to become aware of the body gestures you are emanating.
Of course, body language does not solely account for the respect your peers have for you, but it certainly wins you points.
Body Language Expert
One expert in nonverbal communication is none other than Justin Piñon. He is also known as the “Mental Assassin”, due to his additional talents as a performing Mentalist. Though he does not have supernatural powers, he can certainly appear that way during his shows.
