Part 1: Identifying Patterns Strategic Step 1
My first strategic step is to integrate nonverbal communication. As Mclean (2018) suggests that nonverbal communication is a process that sends messages without using actual words.

Also, with verbal communication there’s room for error, meaning clarifying or correcting communication. However, that’s not how it works for nonverbal communication, which is why it’s important for me to learn nonverbal elements that will deliver my communication correctly to others.
