The Elusive Obvious: The Science of Non-verbal Communication
Research indicates that 80-90% of all communication is nonverbal. Michael Grinder's delineation of the 21 patterns of what one can do with one's eyes, voice, body (including gestures and location) and breathing is a major breakthrough. What is amazing is that most of the patterns are cross-culturally accurate. This work suggests that the difference between the science and the art of nonverbal communication is the following: the science is the acquisition of knowledge (i.e. the what of the communication) and a range of nonverbal strategies and intervention to deliver (i.e. the how of the communication) the knowledge. The art is the perception and timing of when to deliver the what and how of the communication.
