From your personal life to your professional life, it's important to be unforgettable. While it's common to focus on verbal communication, an even more powerful and effective tool is to understand what you're communicating through your body language. While doing a little introspection and research I learned that non-verbal communication is the foundation of any successful relationship. Utilizing the power of fragrance, touch and body language can make all the difference when landing your dream job, speaking in front of a crowd, or securing a second date.
I recently spoke with Tonya Remain, an expert in nonverbal communication, who has provided expert body language analysis in everything from the boardroom to courtroom. Tonya is now also helping women to leave a lasting impression in their personal and dating lives (lucky us!).
Tonya recently teamed up with Caress Body Wash to shed some light on the subject of dating**. Here's the truth about dating in today's world, according to a recent Caress survey:
- Online dating isn't just accepted -- it's widely embraced. Two in five Americans use dating sites and apps. (Most using two or more sites.)
So, how do you incorporate non-verbal communication to benefit your dating and everyday lives?
Here are Tonya's top four tips:
- Combining touch with scent leaves a lasting impression. According to the survey above, nearly half of men are more likely to remember a woman's scent or touch than her name. Why? A touch forms bonds, commitment and intimacy, while scent triggers feelings and memories. Find a way to incorporate a natural touch; that instant connection is electric and makes an indelible memory.
Whether you're in a committed relationship or in the dating world, these four tips can help you create a deeper level of connection. Personally, I feel as if I have mastered the scent and touch tip, so I plan to increase my confidence levels. I will be attending several events this week and will be practicing increased eye contact, turned down hands, and standing tall! How do you plan to incorporate these tips into your personal life?
