JeffAnsell.com - Body Language

There's famous research from the University of California in Los Angeles, from "Dr. Albert Morabian."

Dr. Morabian has demonstrated conclusively that when you say something, 55% of the way your message is interpreted comes from the way you use your body and how you use your face when you say it.

38% of the interpretation of your message comes from the voice, tone, texture, and level of conviction.

So . . . run the numbers, and what does that leave?

A massive 7% for people to interpret your message based on your words.

It's disheartening.

When we speak, we have to juggle the visual, vocal, and verbal so that we can look like we mean what we say and say what we mean.

The whole secret to being a good speaker is;

"Say it like you mean it . . .
and look like you mean it."
