Body language is a silent orchestra, as people constantly give clues to what they’re thinking and feeling. Non-verbal messages including body movements, facial expressions, vocal tone and volume, and other signals are collectively known as body language.

Research supports several effective approaches for managing body language:
- Build awareness first — Track patterns to understand your triggers
