In this short talk, the speaker frames nonverbal communication as a form of "energy" that can be felt and projected during interactions. She describes how individuals emit either uplifting, excited energy or a more serious, composed energy, and how the tone and delivery of speech convey this feeling. The speaker emphasizes the skill of sensing the energy present in a room or in specific people, noting that this ability can be developed. For entrepreneurs and speakers, being attuned to others' energy helps decide whether to continue speaking or to ask questions, making the interaction more effective.

nonverbal communication skills is energy, which might be emotion, but I, I experience it as energy. What is the energy you're putting out there? Like, are you, are you putting out uplifting, excited energy, which is kind of like what I'm feeling right now and sending out into the world? Or are you expressing with what you say and how you say it. I'm a serious, composed person, and this is a serious topic. What is the feeling energy of what you're saying? And the other— and the people in the room, and especially if you're speaking, and I know that this is a skill that not everybody has, and I think it can be developed, you can feel the energy in the room. You can sense individuals and you can feel the energy in the room. And I think that that's an important thing to pay attention to. But for entrepreneurs who are not necessarily speakers, feeling or sensing what's going on with the other person can help you know, and, and watching them can help you know whether you need to keep talking or ask a question.
