As you know it is impossible to not communicate. Whatever you do, even if you do nothing, you are communicating a mood, interest or lack thereof, sympathy or dislike for a person. Thus I’d like to pick out a few typical body language cues and briefly describe how they are perceived. Remember to work on your body language, it is more important for your career than you think.

Our brains consist of two parts. One, the conscious part, is what you use when you think. It’s the slower of both, but it allows for logical reasoning and objective judgment. It separates us from most other animals. The other one takes care of all necessary things to keep your body running, it also handles emotions, but most of all: It does all the things that you do “instinctively”. For example if someone throws something at you, you automatically duck and protect your head. It’s extremely fast and you decide things immediately without any pondering, like a high-performance decision-machine.
