The Benefits and Consequences of Efficient Body Language What more can you accomplish with efficient body language?

Have you ever wondered what kind of information is available from your body, how important it is and who can read it? Did you know there is now a growing interest in profiting from learning to interpret this overlooked area of human behavior? What are the benefits and the consequences of this trend?

Efficient body language compliments efficient organizations

One of the major focal points of the Information Age has been on streamlining operations and making organizations efficient. With the ubiquitous use of spreadsheets and management software hardly any business process has not been scrutinized and re-engineered. Although …show more content…

Most of us take this incredible attracting force for granted. Indeed, who has time to care about gravity when there are bills to pay, products to sell and people to meet? Yet, think about how powerful the pull of gravity is when it comes to holding our world together. It even holds our moon in place. You are then welcome to marvel at the incredible amount of energy many of us use to resist this unavoidable force. For just a moment think about how much better we could feel and how much more energy we would have, how much better we could express ourselves just by being conscious of and working a little more in line with the Force of Gravity?

Most of us pay little or no conscious attention to the level of efficiency we use aligning our posture with gravity's pull. Since curiosity is an unavoidable part of human nature, it was only a matter of time before focus returned to profiting from more efficient use of the body's language. What if that time is now here?

Reading Body Language Basics

Take a walk in a crowded place and observe your fellow humans and how they use their posture to:

- Walk or stand while leaning forward, backward or to one side and work against gravity.

- Hang their heads forward or backward conspicuously out of line with their center of …show more content…

- Does their age and intelligence seem to affect how they respond to you?

- Would you wish someone in your family to show these patterns

or date someone who does?

As a bonus, ask yourself what does their response tell you about their ability to be curious, adaptive and responsive?

What about your own Body Language Signals?

So far we have talked about all of those other people surrounding you. Here is your invitation to stand in front of a mirror, take a reflective inventory on all the questions above and see how they relate to you and your body language. What does your body language say? How quick are you to acknowledge and adjust it? By the way, how many of those around you may also know how to read it?

The Profit in understanding conscious body language

There is a gold mine here waiting for those who understand how to read, feel and interpret what the body language of another is demonstrating. There is also a jackpot waiting for those who are aware of what their own body language is saying. There is a third jackpot waiting for those who understand that by adjusting theirs they will not only feel healthier and happier, they will become more attractive and influential. Could your body language have something to do with your

    This theory was made by Michael Argyle (1925- 2002), who was a social psychologist. In the late 1960s he studied social skills, body language, non-verbal communication and interpersonal behaviour. In this study, he found that non-verbal signals can be much more important and useful than verbal communication when trying to trigger peoples’ attitudes and feelings. His research showed and found that the stronger the relationship between the people communicating so with close friends for example the much better eye contact. However, when the relationship is not very strong so when speaking to a stranger people don’t have very good eye contact and they tend to look away when talking.

They leaped like deer on the moon.” These few lines from the passage show how beautiful and amazing this moment is when they aren’t suppressed.

  • Garfinkeling: A Cultural Analysis

    1058 Words  | 5 Pages

    Within different cultures, members follow a set of strict rules that must be carried out properly when interacting with one another although they are not aware of these unspoken rules. One can become more aware of these actions when he steps out of the procedures set by his culture and behave opposite of what is expected in his culture. The act of behaving in an unexpected manner that is opposite of the norm to elicit a response is known as “Garfinkeling”, named after Harold Garfinkel (Agar, 1994, p.169). By Garfinkeling, I was able to demonstrate how eye contact and the lack of it can disrupt the sign that it carries of paying attention and also interrupt the symbolic system that takes place when asking for assistance. When Michael Agar (1994) speaks of a “sign”, he explains that it is made up of two parts, the “signifier” and the “signified”.

    Eye contact also plays a vital role in effective communication. There are times when we experience words that come out of our mouth and the ways we communicate through our body language are totally different. In this kind of situation, the receiver has to determine whether to believe verbal or nonverbal message. Regularly the receiver would select the nonverbal as it is more natural and it truly displays the speaker’s true feeling and intention. The gestures such as the way we sit, how fast and how loud we talk and how much eye contact we make send strong messages to the receiver.
