Non-Verbal Communication: Body Language and Eye Contact

Non-verbal communication (NVC) refers to the ways we communicate without using words. It includes body language, facial expressions, eye contact, gestures, posture, tone of voice, and personal space. Research suggests that NVC accounts for a significant proportion of the information we communicate — some estimates suggest that as much as 55–93% of communication is non-verbal.
