Body Language- A Key to Success in the Workplace

Check out this article, "Body Language- A Key to Success in the Workplace" on Business Week Online by Carmine Gallo.

"Only a small percentage of communication involves actual words: 7%, to be exact. In fact, 55% of communication is visual (body language, eye contact) and 38% is vocal (pitch, speed, volume, tone of voice). The world's best business communicators have strong body language: a commanding presence that reflects confidence, competence, and charisma."
