Thank you, Ranjani, for sharing this. I would also like to share that body language varies significantly across cultures. For example, in Malaysia, moving your head from left to right and vice versa is often seen as negative feedback, indicating disagreement. Conversely, in India, this gesture signifies agreement or affirmation of a statement.
It is crucial to be vigilant for inconsistencies in body language. Understanding an individual's norms and observing how they react differently from one situation to another is essential. While there are common body language cues, we must always consider both the consistency and inconsistency of a person's body language.
Smiles and cheers,
Noel
