Facial expressions are the first of six nonverbal communication types. A smile signals agreement or enthusiasm, but people often misread them. Ask clarifying questions instead of assuming what someone's expression means.
Would you like to know the 6 types of nonverbal communication? I would love to. All right. So first is your face, facial expressions. And so your smile is communicating to us. You're saying, yes, Katherine, this would be fun. And when we see someone's facial expression, we often interpret them in some way or another. I really encourage people if you have an interpretation of someone's facial expression, to ask. It's really easy if you're intuitive to make an assumption of what that person's trying to say, because you might have been really saying, instead of, "Oh, I'm excited to hear," you might have been saying something like, "Of course I want to hear, Katherine." I don't know. But anyhow, it's important to recognize that we're communicating with our nonverbals and the other person is, and let's not assume anything is what I'm trying to say. So One is your facial expression.
