Why 93 percent of your conversation happens without words
In short: In a globalized world, understanding the unspoken rules of interaction is essential. This session explores how cultural identities shape our nonverbal cues and why mastering these silent signals is key to successful intercultural exchange.
Led by Communications Professor Ed Rabinowitz, this workshop examines the profound impact of nonverbal communication on human interaction. Because an overwhelming 93 percent of all communication is nonverbal, cultural nuances in body language and expression can significantly alter how messages are received.
The content focuses on how individual identities form cultures that dictate specific communication styles. By recognizing these patterns, people can navigate diverse environments more effectively, ensuring that silent cues do not lead to misunderstandings during intercultural exchanges.
