Non-Verbal Communication: Illustrators

Transcript

0:01 Okay, we're going to continue on with breaking down the non-verbal's of body communication,

0:07 and as I'm talking about these things, I'm telling you what they are so that you can

0:12 recognize them and I'm also encouraging you to use them. Because like we talked about

0:17 before, the more you use non-verbal communication, the better communicator you are. So let's

0:24 take a look at Illustrators. Now, illustrators are, are body movements that go with words.

0:32 The body is actually enhancing what you're saying and these are really, really important.

0:39 So if you don't use illustrators, I want to encourage you to do so. They are things like,

0:45 "Common, let's go". You know, just a simple gesture that, "So let's go", you're saying

0:52 it with your body as well as your words. These are use a lot in communication. If I'm talking

0:59 to you and you're trying to interrupt me, I might put my hand up, rather than, or in

1:05 a long to, "just, just a minute, I'm not finished yet". So illustrators are use to enhance what

1:12 we're saying but it's very important that you're illustrators actually enhance what

1:18 you're saying, rather than contradict to what you're saying. Your body might be saying this,

1:25 but your voice is saying this. So be real aware of what you're saying and doing with

1:30 your body and make sure that they go together, otherwise you'll be sending mixed messages.
