8. Nonverbal communication
Nonverbal communication, or body
language, is a vital form of communication
—a natural, unconscious language that
broadcasts our true feelings and intentions
in any given moment, and clues us in to
the feelings and intentions of those around
us.

9. Difference between verbal &
Nonverbal communication
Verbal and non verbal are all types of
communication. But the difference between
them is that we use our voice in verbal
communication and we use body signs in
non-verbal communication.

10. Importance of Nonverbal Communication
Verbal & nonverbal Communication plays an important role
in how people interact with one another. People are using
around 35% verbal communication and 65% nonverbal
communication in daily life. Nonverbal communication
has also cultural meaning.
“The most important thing
in communications to hear
what isn't being said.”
Peter F. Drucker

powerful form of communication.

express in words.
