Introduction 
Good communication is something coming from the inside. Good communication comes with unconscious thought, at times it goes straight away and sometimes other person thinks he heard something else and misunderstands, frustrate

The Nonverbal communication needs to also focus on how the person is communicating and he needs to say something along with it developing a body language which can signify how the other person is communicating. This would also help the listener to feel how the other person is able to respond and being dishonest. for example how the other person is communicating in terms shaking a signal of ‘No’ while his body language is communicating that he is willing to proceed further.
