As Dave Price, a reporter for CBS questionned, what did Barack Obama and John McCain not say during the first presidential debate?
Senator Obama and Senator McCain debate. You are listening their programs.
But... You did not decipher what they were trying to communicate to you and how they felt about each other, about themselves and about their audience. See how body language is even more important than what your mouth says...
I agree with David McNeill of the University of Chicago that "speech and gestures evolved together, and synchronizing the two reinforced the message in the mind of the speaker as well as the listener". The Non-verbal communication is definitly important and powerful going on in both your personnal and professional life.
