body language
Body language is the art of silent persuasion that conveys unspoken intentions with closed lips. In meetings, silence is employed as a convenient excuse to postpone any response. Grand gestures prove more powerful than words but often trigger misinterpretations and deepen confusion. Claimed to reveal emotional subtleties, it generates so many redundant movements that nobody knows what anyone actually wants. Though called a mirror of truth, it excels as a backstage trick for spinning lies in nonverbal communication.
