The response is quite comprehensive regarding Dr. Brass. He uses clear words in explaining his points, making him a great verbal communicator with friendliness and warmth. Non-verbal communication was evident through the use of hand gestures, facial expressions, and posture. Hand gestures was the most visible form of nonverbal communication as the speaker talked about the wife. In effective communication, changing nonverbal cues is essential because they relay different feelings. Facial expressions reveal happiness or sadness. Additionally, verbal communication must change and be evident through speech, with clear words that express the emotions experienced by the individual. The discussion captured the important aspects related to verbal and nonverbal communication, and how Dr. Brass utilized them.
