>> I’m currently taking a class online about effective communications in the workplace, and I had a question about non-verbal communication. I’ve always heard how important it is to make eye contact with an individual you’re trying to communicate with, but I wanted to know if there is any additional “unwritten rules” about this? Is it better to only maintain it while speaking, or while also listening to the other participants in the conversation? Can you make people uncomfortable if you try to maintain eye contact too long or too little?
