Presentation Title

“Speak Up.  I’m Having Difficulty Hearing Your Nonverbal Communication.  How to Improve Your Nonverbal Projection and Nonverbal Interpretation.”

Presentation Description

A significant amount of all face-to-face communication occurs nonverbally.  Much of the nonverbal communication we project outwardly, as well as the nonverbal communication we interpret as projected by others, is done-so without conscious effort.  What if we missed out on a large portion of the nonverbal communication that is on-going around us?  Is it possible that we could become more effective and more efficient in our work-place communication by being more in-tune with nonverbal communication?  How does nonverbal projection change in a virtual environment?

This presentation will provide an overview of nonverbal techniques used to enhance two-way work-place communication.  Various scientific taxonomies of nonverbal communication will be discussed.  In addition, the six “C’s” of nonverbal communication: context, clusters, congruence, consistency, culture, and confounding factors, will be illustrated using interactive techniques that are sure to stimulate engagement.

The target audience includes a broad spectrum of engineering professionals.  The topic is equally applicable to students, educators, practitioners, and service members.  In fact, the non-discipline specific presentation will be of interest to anyone with an interest in improving their communication skills.
