Good verbal communication is when one is able to use words to convey their ideas clearly and also to listen carefully to other people. This may involve using a variety of approaches too.
Non-verbal communication refers to expressing our ideas and opinions without speaking. In this case, one may communicate using body language, sign language, lip reading, facial expressions, written words, pictures, objects, and also tone of voice and physical contact. In nonverbal communication, and even during verbal communication in some cases, it’s important to be able to read what a person’s body language is saying, and to also be aware of your body language too, when working with others.
