Let Me See Your Body Talk

Similar to Judge the Jury, the topic is body language.  This time the angle is from the perspective of personal relationships.  The most interesting section was the concept of dominant communication styles – auditory, visual, and kinesthetic.  If you are visual, you want to see information as a graph, picture, or animated simulation.  The dominant auditory will complain no one listens.  (At least at MFC-Dallas.  I give an AVK quiz in one of my classes.  Auditory is the rarest form, and I have only encountered one dominant auditory in about 80 students.)  The target audience is the layperson, so there isn’t as much detail as I would have liked in some sections.
