Being tuned into someone's nonverbal communication cues can help you determine what is truly being said beyond just the words being spoken.
Non-verbal communication refers to all those messages excluding spoken words. Those messages are body language such as gesture, body posture, eye contact and facial expressions. People communicate in different ways, especially through nonverbal, it is necessary to pay attention to the conveyor so that misinterpretation will be eluded. We should be mindful of our nonverbal cues/actions towards others for they may take it the other way around, we'll never know that sometimes what we meant to mean in our gestures were contrary to how others perceive it.

To avoid misunderstanding be aware of what we fully do when we are speaking, speaking with relevant emotions and actions hold the crowds attention better. Good speaker is not just about speaking, it's a two way process, it is how you speak and how you listen. Giving your full attention means using open body language, which includes uncrossed arms and legs, squared shoulders, and portraying clear engagement in the conversation which signifies you being a good listener. And as what always others tell, "a good speaker is a good listener", take a step and together let's do it now.
