WE ALL KNOW VERBAL COMMUNICATION IS IMPORTANT, BUT WHAT ABOUT
NON VERBAL COMMUNICATION?

Non - verbal communication is just as important as verbal

communication. Non-verbal communication increases understanding of
messages. When verbal and nonverbal communication are similar, it
establishes better perspective on the message being sent. The sender of
message as well as receiver gets what is the intended meaning of the
message and can act accordingly.
