Communication specialists have been suggesting the use of terms or emotions (through body language) that can really make impact on the receiver and influence her/him to the desired goal. One has to thoughtfully decide as to which message/words can work in a particular situation, like the one in the situation shown in the attached video. I wished to know more such situations of impactful communications that you know.

I have failed 48 out of 50 interviews! I have no idea what I am communicating which apparently has adverse effects!
I suspect my 'not wearing the heart on the sleeve' demeanor may wrongly communicate 'lack of enthusiasm'!
Period!
Dear Debi, I knew this fabulous clip, thank you for reminding me of ! I'll share an other touching too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju-q4OnBtNU
Yes, Debi..I have seen this clip long time ago!
In India, we have a famous ad: their product name is "idea" and their marketing caption is "An idea can change your life"
Yes Lijo it was really used in many situations, this caption really made a change in our public talking.
Very emotional clip , thank you a lot for reminding me this.
Together we can do something positive ....
[email protected] many people are using the same caption in different situations...
Sometimes I used it during teaching undergraduates.....
Body language affects how others understand us, and at the same time, it also makes us understand ourselves.
There is another message that was used by the Tata Steel, an Indian MNC, which is now the cheapest steel producing company in the world. Tatas are know to be the most caring employers for their employees and the customers. They once gave an ad which read like this: "....we also make steel." This made tremendous impact on the brand image of the company. People remembered it for years.

That reminds me the mascot Maharaja used by Air India to show the royal treatment given to passengers.
Everyone knows about the BP (British Petroleum) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that threatened wildlife in coastal areas as well as the livelihoods of fishermen and those in the tourist industry. For a long time, in protest, Americans abstained from buying BP gasoline at the gas pumps. Since then, BP has embarked on an advertising campaign (comparable to the Tata Steel strategy) insisting on the care that BP lavishes on its employees as well as on the environment, and not saying anything about the quality of its product. I have no information that Americans have reversed their buying habits from BP, however. Sorry. We have a long memory.
A positive energy and a psychological element is there in that approach, Dr. Kamal!
Dear Kamal, this is interesting. If you would tell, please what distance is called "official space and distance" in Jordan? Is relationship between physician and patient in Jordan based on closer distance, than official ?
Dear Kamal, thank you for an answer. I think such relationship between Physician -Patient, usual for you, is interesting phenomena for me. I see our Polish Physicians, however professionally educated and skilled, are far from being friends to their patients.
Wow! Such kind of adv. is really new to me, Dr.Kamal...it is not a usual practice in India, interesting!
Kamal
In India doctors are mostly reserved, and often do not tell the patient everything they should. Last year, I landed up in a government dispensary in Aaurhus, Denmark, and was waiting for my turn as per the appointment. When the doctor was free seeing the previous patient, he walked to the waiting lounge to take me to his consulting room. I was simply impressed with his humility. I think what you are saying works somewhat similar as placebo. He was doing that to every patient, I saw.
Dr Kamal, I want also to thank you and all health and life saving peoples and especially real human doctors for their endless effort and kindness. Really appreciated.
Kamal
I salute you for being so humble and humane in your approach. I am sure, your patients must be recovering faster than otherwise. Especially, in the city of Delhi, where I live, ethical responsibility amongst doctors is fast eroding. There are so many cases of negligence and even wrong advice, many time deliberately. Though I am told, Mumbai is quite different, where doctors display higher standards of ethics.
@Debi, I do find this book as very useful resource! How to read other's thoughts by their gestures...! Here is the complete book! Many of You will like it!
Thanks Ljubomir a lot. I read some portions of it. Indeed, it is very interesting.
