#2 - The second principle states that your nonverbal actions must match those of your verbal actions. It's not enough to say that you are dedicated, but you must show it. Some was they might operate in a group or team is that if you say you will take care of something and then you slack and never deliver. If you are on a baseball team, and you tell the team that you are dedicated and want to be a part of the team, but then you show up to practice late, or hungover, or you bring scouts to look at you and focus on yourself instead of the team, you are not very dedicated to the team but instead you are just focused on yourself or your social life.
#7 - The seventh principle states that woman and men send and interpret nonverbal cues differently. This I believe is 100% true. I know a lot of times when I go out with a group of guys, they always think girls are "checking them out" just because they get a look or a smile. Yet, when they go over to the girl, they get rejected and the girl is confused at how the guy could possibly think she is interested! This is another reason why diversity is important, especially in a professional situation - you want to have both male & female interpretations and viewpoints of nonverbal cues, and you want to be able to have someone another person can discuss cues with, for instance, have at least 2 women and 2 men so that its not 2 on 1.
