• Social distance
• Personal distance

Touch.

•  
• Even a handshake tells much about an individuals
  character. The human skin has hundreds of
  thousands of submicroscopic nerve endings,
  serving as tactual receptors and detecting
  pressure, temperature, texture, pain.

14
Dress.

• Clothing indicates a great amount of information.
  It identifies sex, age, socioeconomic class,
  status, role, group membership, personality or
  mood, physical climate, and time in history.

15
Attitudes most often associated with clothing
relate to

• A desire to conform
• A desire for self-expression
• A desire for aesthetic satisfaction
• Prestige values
• The desire for social participation
• Physical comfort
• Economy

16
Conclusion

• Even the best verbal communication skills are not
  sufficient to create and sustain successful
  relationships. Good relationships require the
  ability to communicate with emotional
  intelligence.
