Fluency and Coherence

ACTION _ POWER words to use in your CV

When it comes to communication we do it in number of ways. Through words, tone of voice and the body languge.

Here is he percentage split between body language, voice and words:

Body Language – the visible actions that we show to others using all parts of our body – 55%
Voice – the pitch, pace, tone and volume of our voice – 38%
Words – the actual words that make up our message – 7%.

This often surprises many people as they often think the words make up most of the communication. In reality, it’s the visible things we show that communicates most of the message as this is where most people’s perceptions are formed – from what they can see.

Since my students are GMs, CEOs and various C-level managers I have the ability to learn it directly from them and I am excited to share my discoveries with you.

“This movie is like 비빔밥(Bibimbap)!”
If you are a fan of thriller and looking for something fresh, 
this movie can take you to a whole new world! 

When his abducted brother returns seemingly a different man with no memory of the past 19 days, Jin-seok chases after the truth behind the kidnapping. It all began that tragic night. Sounds only he hears. Nightmares that seem too real. Doubts about his own memories.
