Non-Verbal Communication

Eye Contact

Eye Gaze When you are giving a visual presentation using books, charts, graphs and so on, research shows that of the information relayed to a person’s brain, 87% comes via the eyes, 9% via the ears, and 4% via the other senses. To maintain maximum control of eye gaze, use a pen or pointers to point to the visual aid, and at the same time verbalize what is seen. Next, lift the pen from the visual aid and hold it between his eyes and your own eyes. This has the magnetic effect of lifting his head so that he is looking at your eyes and now he sees and hears what you are saying, thus achieving maximum absorption of your message.
