what i learned...

I think through out the course, non verbal communication really stood out to me. I never really thought about non verbal communication, and how it makes almost more of an impact than verbal communication. It is so interesting how we can read people and their feelings without even saying a word. A thing that really made me think was how different cultures interpret non verbal communication in different ways. In some countries it is rude to make eye contact or shake hands, but in our country it is exactly the opposite. Reading about non-verbal communication taught me that I really have to be aware of the way I communicate non-verbally because it is so easy for people to interpret differently than what I would like.
