How can OC members effectively use body language to enhance communication?

Maintaining eye contact, open posture, and nodding to show understanding significantly enhances communication. Eye contact establishes trust and encourages engagement between the speaker and listener, making interactions more personal and relatable. An open posture conveys openness and receptiveness, which fosters a positive environment for dialogue. Nodding while someone is speaking serves as a non-verbal cue that indicates you are actively listening and processing the information being shared. Together, these elements of body language create an atmosphere of respect and attentiveness, which can enhance the effectiveness of the communication process in any setting, including during committee interactions.
