IMPORTANCE OF BODY LANGUAGE
Persons trained well in body language can reap the following benefits:
(1) Securing reliable feedback
The body does not lie although human beings can easily be swayed into telling things that are not true. A perceptive and trained speaker can easily find out if he is speaking
above, below or in line with the level of understanding of the audience and change / modify the message and his style to suit.
(2) Distinguishing truth from lie
Sensitive observers of body language can capture cues from non-verbal communication and compare it with the verbal communication and if they do not match, they get the uncanny feeling that the speaker is not telling the truth. There is a famous maxim, „Words may lie but the body seldom does‟. Body language has been described as the language all speak but very few understand it.
(3) Women are more perceptive than men
Also called „women intuition‟, they have an innate ability to pick up and decipher non-verbal signs and signals and have an eye for details. No wonder, few husbands can lie successfully to their wives. Conversely, most women can pull a fast one on their men without their realizing it. Female intuition is very high among women who have grown up children. Mothers solely rely on non-verbal communication to interact with the child for the first year or so.
