Explain what you can do to improve how you interpret nonverbal communication

What will be an ideal response?


In order to improve your ability to interpret nonverbal communication effectively you should: 1. remain observant of and sensitive to the nonverbal messages you receive, and 2. verify nonverbal
messages that you do not understand or which are inconsistent with other nonverbal or verbal
behaviors. One method that can help you verify the meaning of nonverbal messages is to use descriptive
feedback, which occurs when you describe what you think the nonverbal message means to the sender.
