Effective communication - the key to successful collaboration in a remote context

The New Narrative has put it in a nutshell: written communication is an important part of our modern hybrid working world. We from Digital Leader Program are convinced that non-verbal communication plays an at least as important role in a remote context.

Did you know that:

• 55% of communication is based on body language?
• 38 % is based on tone of voice?
• Only 7% is conveyed through the spoken word?

We can also harness the power of non-verbal communication in a remote context:

➡️ Do you leave on the video in video calls? Is your remote setup consciously set up in terms of lighting, alignment and background?

➡️Do you listen attentively to your counterpart in meetings? Or do you complete tasks in the meantime?

➡️In which way do you experience interruptions from letter carriers and co?

All these examples have an impact on our non-verbal communication.

What do you think? In which way do you take non-verbal aspects into account in your daily (remote) communication?
