Non-verbal communication is a big part of how we talk with each other, especially when people from different cultures are involved. It can really affect how things turn out in negotiations. Here are a few key points to remember:

1. Eye Contact:

   • In Western countries, looking someone in the eye shows that you are confident.
   • But in some Asian countries, it might be seen as rude or too aggressive.

2. Gestures:

   • In many places, giving a thumbs up means "good job" or "I agree."
   • However, in parts of the Middle East, it can actually be seen as rude.

3. Personal Space:

   • People in the U.S. like to have more space when they talk.
   • On the other hand, people from Latin America often stand closer when having conversations.

Knowing these differences is really important. It can help you negotiate better and avoid any mix-ups!
