Nonverbal Communication Body Language It could be called a language which conveys
affirmative , ambiguous or negative signals depending on individual perception.

Intricacies of Body Language
Arms
They give the clues as to how open and receptive we are to everyone we meet and interact with.
So we can keep our arms out to the side of our body or behind our back. This shows we are not scared to take on
whatever comes your way and you meet things in a “full frontal” position.

Legs They are the furthest point away from the
brain.
Consequently they're the hardest bits of our bodies to consciously control.
Lets always remember to get a grip on them.

Distance from others
This is crucial if you want to give off the right signals.
Too close - "Pushy"
Too far - “Too afraid”
Varying the distance and position shows an open attitude.

Lets Summarize Be aware of our own nonverbal communication
while delivering a speech to any audience.
Realize that non-verbal communication is at times imprecise and should be interpreted with care.
Use appropriate gestures to drive home our meaning.
Whenever we present ourselves in front of an audience lets make the conscious effort of having voluntary control over our body language .
