Effective Nonverbal Communications Education and Training

MAINTAIN THE EDGE

In today’s business environment you need an edge to keep your business at the top of its game. The Pragmatics Lady™ says “It’s time to get back to basics”. By doing so, you will establish more harmonious and effective ways to communicate and foster teamwork. Effective communication leads to impactful collaborations, setting your team up for success.

Pragmatics Foundations include:
The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said.”
–Peter F. Drucker

The fact is, that strong business practices start and stop with good communication. While verbal and written communication skills are important, research has shown that nonverbal behaviors make up 93 percent of our daily interpersonal communication.

Something as simple as not making eye contact during the first introduction with a potential client can derail the entire business transaction.

Most communications training and education continue to focus on the 7 percent that is verbal. Scripts can be written and practiced. However, it is truly the “ way” it is presented ( ie. nonverbal messages such as, pausing, tone, and posture) this is where the true message is communicated. This is why The Pragmatics Lady™ adds value. We know it’s not what you say, but how you say it.
