🔑 Speak Without Words: How Body Language Shapes Your Interactions

Turns out 93% of communication is non-verbal.

So what you’re saying without words could be making or breaking your message.

You’ve got to know how to play the game of communication, or you’ll find yourself fumbling through deals and relationships.

and i dont want that for you.

So here’s 3 tips that’ll have you speaking volumes without saying a word:

1. Eye Contact: Hold It Like a Boss 

Ever notice how the most powerful people don’t dart their eyes around the room? Lock in, but don’t be creepy.

Confidence is king.

You’ve got to show people you mean business just by the way you look at them.

2. Don’t Have Your Hands by Your Side

Hands by your side say that you aren’t confident.

Use your hands when you talk and express yourself.

This feels un-natural at first, but it’s a true sign of confidence and comfort.

3. The Smile: Your Silent Weapon 

A well-placed smile in negotiations or meetings shows you're in control and friendly, but not a pushover.

You’ll find that people also like you more when you smile, so if you’re not a smiley person naturally, just force it.

Non-verbal communication isn’t just an add-on; it’s the main course.

Whether you’re closing a deal, giving advice, or just navigating daily life, these tips will keep you in control, speaking loud even when you're silent.

You got this. Let your presence do the talking.
