    Dr. Albert Mehrabian, a well-known psychologist who has done extensive research on nonverbal communication: highlights the significant role that nonverbal cues play in communication, often conveying more about emotions and attitudes than words alone. At Candidly Speaking, we believe that true understanding goes beyond words. In our conversations across cultures, nonverbal cues—like a knowing nod, a warm smile, or empathy in a shared glance—help us bridge divides and connect on a deeper level. Let’s continue to listen to what isn’t said and foster connections that go beyond the surface. 🌍✨ #CandidlySpeaking #nonverbalcommunication #ConversationsAcrossCultural #DrAlbertMehrabian #JoinUsTheConversation #connection

    Have you ever thought about how much we say without speaking a single word? Non-verbal communication—like facial expressions, body language, and hand gestures—can speak volumes! 👀🤝 One powerful form of non-verbal communication is sign language. Whether you know a little or a lot, it’s an incredible way to connect with others, especially those in the Deaf community. Today, let’s try something simple together: the sign for “Thank you” 🤲✨ 🔻Start with your dominant hand. 🔻Place your fingertips near your chin. 🔻Move your hand away from your face, slightly downward, like you’re blowing a kiss! Give it a try! Practicing even just a few signs can make a world of difference in how we interact with the world around us. Let’s embrace different ways to communicate—because every gesture counts! How do you use non-verbal cues in your daily life? Share your experiences or ask questions below! 👇 #candidlyspeaking #community #signlanguage #nonverbalcommunication

    🎉 An Early Happy National Nonprofit Day from Candidly Speaking! 🎉 This coming Sunday, we’ll be celebrating National Nonprofit Day, but we wanted to get a head start by acknowledging the incredible work of nonprofits everywhere. 🌍✨ At Candidly Speaking, we’re proud to partner with nonprofits to foster inclusion in diverse environments across the U.S. through our innovative program, which is being used by government, businesses, and schools to enhance communication and build authentic relationships. But today, our focus is on encouraging everyone to support the nonprofit sector in any way they can. Why is National Nonprofit Day important? It’s a reminder of the power of kindness and the impact we can make when we come together. Whether it’s volunteering your time, donating to a cause, or simply sharing the work of a nonprofit you admire, every little bit helps. Let’s show some love to all the amazing nonprofits out there this week and beyond. 💖 Get involved, make a difference, and be a part of something bigger. Together, we can change the world! 🌟 #candidlyspeaking #nationalnonprofitday #community
