The Power of Non Verbal Communication

U.C.L.A. Psychologist and researcher Albert Mehrabian illustrated the impact and importance of non verbal language in his 1967 investigation of how people communicate. Mehrabian’s research shows that 7% of the meaning of communication comes from verbal elements (or words), 36% comes from vocal elements (tone, pitch, rate, etc….), and 55% comes from non verbal elements (posture, expression, etc….).
