How can I improve my non-verbal communication skills?

Improving non-verbal communication involves being aware of body language, facial expressions, and eye contact. Would you like tips on any specific area?

Yes, I struggle with maintaining eye contact during conversations.

Practicing eye contact can help. Start by maintaining eye contact for a few seconds at a time, then gradually increase it. You can also practice with friends or in front of a mirror.

What about my body language? I feel like I might come off as closed off.

Open body language is key! Try to keep your arms uncrossed, lean slightly forward, and nod to show engagement. Practicing in front of a mirror can help you become more aware of your posture.

Are there any resources or exercises you recommend?

Yes! Consider joining a local improv class or using apps that focus on social skills. Reading books on body language can also provide valuable insights.
