Physical Communication

Although it is less used in a business scenario, there is one last element of communication that all of us use on a regular basis–physical communication. At work you might use it some–top at someone on the back or to give them as light tap on the shoulder to get their attention. When it is used, it is more effective than verbal communication.

To clarify this point, imagine doing the exercise on the shapes in the last section, but this time, instead of words, you are able to put your hand over the hand of the person doing the drawing and direct the motion of their pen physically. You will end up with something much closer to the actual picture than by verbal instruction alone.
