    Verbal communication is organized by language; non-verbal communication is not. Most of us spend about 75 percent of our waking hours communicating our knowledge, thoughts, and ideas to others (Allis, 2002).

Non-verbal communication includes facial expressions, eye contact, tone of voice, body posture and motions, and positioning within groups.
