Description When it comes to communication, you can send a clear message not just through your words and your voice, but also through your actions and gestures. Both verbal and nonverbal communication play a prominent role when you interact with the people around you. In many cases, you likely interact with others without giving your tone of voice, actions or gestures much thought. However, during a professional situation like a presentation or job interview, your tone of voice, actions, and gestures matter as much as the words you speak. Add the complexity of communicating in a virtual format and a conscious focus on your nonverbal communication becomes even more important. In this week’s Assignment, you will explore verbal and nonverbal concepts through the lens of your own professional persona.
