Nonverbal communication can be reflected by your facial expressions, the tone of your voice, eye contact, body gestures or movement, or posture. Even your personal appearance can send a nonverbal impression. This can be both positive or negative. Explain how a verbal message could be affected by nonverbal communication by providing an example scenario. For example, the scrubs that Sue is wearing today are wrinkled, and her top has some coffee stains. What message does this imply about office cleanliness and professionalism when she meets patients at the reception desk?
