If it is true that non-verbal communication accounts for about 70% of communicative effectiveness, then it is equally true that our posture is a real calling card, saying a lot about both our physical and mental health.
It’s not just about the traditional standards that characterize a “fierce” posture, with open shoulders and a high chin, and one that is more submissive, with closed shoulders, low chin and folded arms. It is about one’s own personal well-being and productivity.
Technically, we may say that posture is an actual strategy, resulting from a close relationship between our neurological system and the outer environment: in short, it is the briefest and most transparent way in which we can claim our place in the world, conveying it through non-verbal communication.
