Business Bites – Nonverbal Communication

November 21, 2011

Taylor Swift surprised after winning the Album of the year at the America Music Awards 2011

Business Bites is a new innovative series to council the marriage between your personal style and your business savvy. This great series is by our newest editor Joshua Walls. You will be seeing a lot more great inspiring information from this long time image consultant and stylist to local and national stars. I am elated to add him to the D’Babetta roster. I hope you love his work as much as I do.

There are 3 things to consider:

1. 93% of all communication is non-verbal, 55% is gestures, body posture, facial expressions 38% is the tone of your voice, 7% verbal

2. Research shows that within 30 seconds an impression has already been made

3. Time is of the essence!!! It starts by Dressing For Success

Securing a favorable first impressions will inevitably influence second opportunities. During that initial engagement we are often concerned with the eloquent content of our premeditated verbal delivery. Often times we neglect, and in some cases never consider the messages being communicated non-verbally on our behalf.

Question of the Week: What impressions are you making you wish you could change? Leave a comment for Joshua below!
