How to Nod
So much of human communication is non-verbal, meaning there are no words involved. Body language is another word for non-verbal communication. Waves, smiles, giving someone the finger and nods are all examples of non-verbal communication. You can use nodding to convey multiple ideas and concepts, so knowing how to nod properly is incredibly important.
