Stand Tall.
The difference between towering and cowering is
totally a matter of inner posture.
It’s got nothing to do with height, it costs nothing and
its more fun.
Gihan aboueleish
23. How Does Body Speak?
- Like any spoken language,
body language has words,
sentences and punctuation.
-
- Each gesture is like a single
word and one word may have
several different meanings.
Gihan aboueleish
24. Let’s Examine How Body Communicates,
from head to toes
Gihan aboueleish
25. HEAD
- Nodding the head
- “Yes” in most societies
- “No” in some parts of Greece, Yugoslavia,
Bulgaria, and Turkey
- Tossing the head backward
- “yes” in Thailand, the Philippines, India, Laos
- Rocking head slowly, back and forth
- “yes, I’m listening” in most Asian cultures
Gihan aboueleish
27. EYES
* Eye contacts
- Encouraged in America, Canada, Europe
- Rude in most Asian countries and in Africa
* Raising eyebrows
- “Yes” in Thailand and some Asian countries
- “Hello” in the Philippines
* Winking eye
- Sharing secret in America and Europe
- flirtatious gesture in other countries
Gihan aboueleish
28. EARS
* Ear grasp
- “I’m sorry.” in parts of India
* Cupping the ear
- “I can’t hear you.” in all societies
* Pulling ear
- “You are in my heart” for Indians
Gihan aboueleish
29. NOSE
* Holding the nose
- “Something smells bad.” universal
* Nose tap
- “It’s confidential.” England
- “Watch out!” or "Be careful.” Italy
Gihan aboueleish
30. NOSE
* Pointing to nose
- “It’s me.” Japan
* Blowing nose
- In most Asian countries, blowing the
nose at social gathering is
‘disgusting.’
Gihan aboueleish
31. LIPS AND MOUTH
Whistle, yawn, smile, bite, point, sneeze, spit, kiss..
* Kiss. In parts of Asia, kissing is considered an intimate sexual
act and not permissible in public, even as a social greeting.
* Kissing sound. To attract attention in the Philippines, to beckon
a waiter in Mexico.
* Finger tip kiss. In France, it conveys several messages, “That’s
good!” “That’s great!” “That’s beautiful!.”
Gihan aboueleish
33. THE LIP POINTING
Lip pointing (a substitute for pointing
with the hand or finger) is common
among Filipinos, Native Americans and
many Latin Americans.
Open mouth. Any display of the open
mouth is considered very rude in most
countries.
Gihan aboueleish
34. ARMS
Some cultures, like the Italians, use the arms
freely. Others, like the Japanese, are more
reserved; it is considered impolite for broad
movements of the arms.
Folding arms are interpreted by some social
observers as a form of excluding self, “I am
taking a defensive posture,” or “I disagree with
what I am hearing.”
Gihan aboueleish
35. HANDS
Of all the body parts, the hands are
probably used most for
communicating non-verbally.
Hand waves are used for greetings,
beckoning, or farewells.
Gihan aboueleish
36. HANDS
The Italian “good-bye” wave can be
interpreted by Americans as the gesture
of “come here.”
The American “good-bye” wave can be
interpreted in many parts of Europe and
Latin America as the signal for “no.”
Gihan aboueleish
37. HANDS (Cont’d)
Beckoning.
The American way of getting attention (raising
a hand with the index finger raised above
head) could be considered rude in Japan, and
also means “two” in Germany.
The American “come here” gesture could be
seen as an insult in most Asian countries.
In China, to beckon a waiter to refill your tea,
simply turn your empty cup upside down.
Gihan aboueleish
38. HANDS (Cont’d)
Right hand. The right hand has special
significance in many societies. In certain
countries in the Middle East and in Asia, it is best
to present business cards or gifts, or to pass
dishes of food, to get an attention, using only the
right hand or both.
Left hand is considered unclean in much of the
Middle East and in parts of Indonesia.
Gihan aboueleish
39. FINGERS
The “O.K.” signal. (the thumb and
forefinger form a circle) means
“fine,” or “O.K.” in most cultures,
“zero” or “worthless” in some parts of
Europe
“money” in Japan
an insult in Greece, Brazil, Italy, Turkey,
Russia and some other countries
Gihan aboueleish
40. FINGERS (Cont’d)
Pointing.
Pointingwith the index finger
is common in North America
and Europe.
But it is considered impolite in
Japan and China where they
favor using the whole open
hand.
Malaysians prefer pointing
with the thumb.
Gihan aboueleish
41. LEGS AND FEET
In Asia, do not point with your toes.
In Asia and some European countries, putting
feet up on a desk or any other piece of
furniture is very disrespectful.
Sitting cross-legged, while common in North
America and some European countries, is
very impolite in other parts of the world.
Gihan aboueleish
42. WALKING
Walking can reflect many characteristics of a
culture. For example,
In parts of Asia and some of the Middle Eastern
countries, men who are friends may walk holding
each other’s hand.
In Japan and Korea, older women commonly walk
a pace or two behind male companion.
Asians often regard Western women as bold and
aggressive, for they walk with a longer gait.
Gihan aboueleish
46. Feedback Skills
Positive vs. Negative Feedback
Positive feedback is more readily and accurately
perceived than negative feedback.
Positive feedback fits what most people wish to hear
and already believe about themselves.
Negative feedback is most likely to be accepted when it
comes from a credible source if it is objective in form.
Subjective impressions carry weight only when they
come from a person with high status and credibility
Gihan aboueleish
47. Developing Effective Feedback Skills
Focus on specific behaviors.
Keep feedback impersonal
Keep feedback goal oriented
Make feedback well timed
Ensure understanding
Direct feedback toward behavior that is
controllable by the recipient
Gihan aboueleish
48. Group Think
Phenomena in which the norm for
consensus overrides the realistic
appraisal of alternative course of action
Gihan aboueleish
49. Styles Of Communication
Aggressive communication
Submissive communication
Assertive communication
Gihan aboueleish
50. Aggressive communication
Those who communicate in an aggressive manner
are generally perceived as selfish and unwilling to
compromise. This style is usually linked to a desire
to hurt others or exact revenge, or may reflect poor
emotional development.
It usually attacks the other person instead of
expressing a need:
Ex; "You never spend any time with me“
versus
"I need to spend more time with you".
Gihan aboueleish
51. Passive Communication
Passive communication is based on
compliance and hopes to avoid confrontation
at all costs. In this mode we don't talk much,
question even less, and actually do very little.
We just don't want to rock the boat. Passives
have learned that it is safer not to react and
better to disappear than to stand up and be
noticed.
Gihan aboueleish
52. Assertive communication
The most effective and healthiest form of communication. It's how
we naturally express ourselves when our self-esteem is intact,
giving us the confidence to communicate without games and
manipulation.
When we are being assertive, we work hard to create mutually
satisfying solutions. We communicate our needs clearly. We care
about the relationship and insist for a win/win situation. We know
our limits and refuse to be pushed beyond them just because
someone else wants or needs something from us. Surprisingly,
assertive is the style most people use least.
Gihan aboueleish
53. Situations
Have a look at these situations and decide
how...
...an aggressive person would react
Situation # 01.
Situation # 02.
Gihan aboueleish

work. However, a few of your co-workers are
laughing and horsing around. What do you do?
You are the head of your department. A young lady
who works for you has started coming to work late

55. What is a Skill?
Skill is defined as a
learned power of doing
something competently.
It is a developed
aptitude or ability.

pretending to listen
Stage hogging

making his own point than understanding the speaker
Insulated Listening
this listener fails to hear or
acknowledge the speaker when they don't want to discuss a topic
and the speaker starts talking about the subject anyway
Defensive Listening -
this listener thinks the speaker
is out to get them and reads into every word that is being said to try
to decipher if they feel it is a personal insult
Ambushing

more than the words that are actually spoken
