"Non-verbal communication"
How much of what we say is said in words? There are those who claim to see into other's minds. I claim to be a good listener. Studies suggest that only 5-10% of communication is, in fact, verbal; the rest is comprised of a combination of conscious and unconscious signals broadcast through facial expressions, body language, gestures, and tone, rhythm and volume of voice. Consciously learn this "other" language and a world of information about those around you becomes available. One of the best guides I have had in my studies of this particular art is Dylan, a very talkative Golden Retriever. His ability to "Read" me is extraordinary and I hope, one day, to come close to his mastery of listening.
