Some other sources for nonverbal

Hey all,
Here is a site that has a lot of resources re: nonverbal issues. It is Northern Virginia Community College. Nice design....

Here is the overall list of resources on this site...http://novaonline.nvcc.edu/eli/spd110td/interper/index.html

I am still looking at nonviolent communication as a way to prepare for active listening and reframing, such as in a reference interview. I am struck by the amount of parallels I am finding in the research, as I went from nonviolent communication, which brought me to empathy and back to interpersonal communication. I guess I am in the ball park.

In my presentation, I will speak on context for the communication between two people, and how that shapes the success of the interaction. Moving to nonviolent communication, I will share the ideas that we all want to connect, and to do that, we have to understand and reach out to each person's needs (ideal for librarians, eh?), rather than jumping to snap judgements. I expect to have each member of the group share a brief comment in which they reacted negatively, which will let me bring it to reframing it so it is about understanding a person's needs, rather than an attack or slight.

I like the idea of adding a little on nonverbal communication - eye rolling, shrugging, something that can convey a person not very in tune to the dyad. I will explore this.

I think I read what John and Elizabeth are doing...what about the rest?
