Studies show that only seven percent of what we communicate are our spoken words. As much as 93% of what we communicate is nonverbal. Our bodies are our frontline of expression. It’s what everyone sees. There is no hiding it.
Every gesture has enormous implications in telling a story, and the courtroom is no exception. The jury can see your whole body in the courtroom, so you might as well be aware of what it’s doing and use it to say everything that you mean it to say.
