What is non-verbal communication? Basically, it’s everything you do that isn’t verbal. For example, how you listen, facial expressions, posture, expression, tone of voice, and anything that sends a message when you aren’t speaking. Non-verbal communication plays a huge role in how we communicate and how we read and respond to others. For example this is a way we can tell when people are lying to us and it’s also what separates an amazing public speaker from a boring one.
