As the 2020 race for president draws to a close, according to Gallup polling U.S. voters are feeling both enthusiastic about voting with a record high 64% strongly agreeing with the statement that they are ‘afraid of what will happen if my candidate for president does not win’ and fearful of what the outcome will mean for the country.   Most also agree that the stakes are higher than in previous presidential elections. Communicating authentically is pivotal to gain connection and elevate career success Research shows that at least 55% of our communication is delivered via body language, 38% through tone of voice and only 7% through the actual words we speak.
