ADVICE

Make Words Tone And Actions Congruent

  • Treat words, vocal tone, and nonverbal behavior as one integrated message.
  • Before speaking, consider whether your words will leave someone bitter or better, because spoken words cannot be retrieved.
INSIGHT

Your Thoughts Show Up In Your Body

  • Thoughts trigger physical signals, often revealing attitudes before speakers consciously choose them.
  • A closed posture can expose resistance even when someone verbally says, “What’s up?”
ADVICE

Match Your Message Across Three Channels

  • Check whether your words, tone, and body language agree before trying to project enthusiasm or confidence.
  • Folded arms, a flat tone, or a shaking head can contradict words such as “I’m excited.”
