They can also seek out opportunities to interact with people from different cultures to observe and learn about nonverbal cues specific to those cultures. Additionally, individuals can educate themselves on common nonverbal gestures and body language norms in different cultures through books, online resources, and documentaries. Finally, individuals can reflect on their own cultural biases and assumptions, and be open to feedback from others on how their nonverbal communication may be perceived in a cross-cultural context.
