Listening with your eyes -

What are people saying? We might be able to understand more if we paid less attention to the words people are using to communicate and more attention to how they are saying it. This is known as body language. Whether you are a speaker, teacher, coach, parent, athlete, or even a spouse, listening to body language can be important in better understanding what is really being said.

In today's world, we trust less what people say and more what they do. To get a better understanding of what is really being said, "Listen more with your eyes".

Take a listen to my conversation with Joe Navarro, who wrote "What Every Body is Saying," and definitely add this to your personal success library.

To be a good communicator you need to be a great listener.
