When giving talks I might see someone who looks totally bored or are doodling but in fact have to focus elsewhere to listen better.Taffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796711977284429278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294986155177272443.post-24155489434534541052012-04-30T09:28:17.768-07:002012-04-30T09:28:17.768-07:00Luv this.

I'd mention, "Don't do the hand!" <br />Because with his face and words he'll say something, but he says the opposite with his hands :-)<br /><br />Great post, Taffy!Yamilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08769312615756253197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294986155177272443.post-37939614221213682232012-04-27T06:42:58.548-07:002012-04-27T06:42:58.548-07:00I usually agree with the messages of body language...I usually agree with the messages of body language. But do you think sometimes people read too much into certain gestures? I'm going to have to pay better attention to my own gestures and see what signals I'm sending.Julie Daineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350205936357263571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294986155177272443.post-2055229547129648972012-04-23T20:37:39.184-07:002012-04-23T20:37:39.184-07:00Awesome post!

In books we don't see it as much because we think in verbal language, but it's definitely a part of language. Many people can't talk without moving their hands.<br /><br />So here's a quote from one of mine:<br /><br />"My hands were moving again. Some people can't talk without moving their hands—I can't think without moving mine."<br /><br />I'm tagging you for the 7-7-7 challenge.
