  • Research has shown that hand gestures make anyone more trustworthy, likable and charismatic.
    In this video, I'm going to teach you what hand gestures you should be using on a daily basis. Hand gestures support memorability, trustworthiness, and clarity. These powerful hand gestures can be used in normal social interactions, networking events, or presentations and can leave a great lasting impression!
    For some people, hand gestures come naturally, but others must practice. For example, in this video I mention how politicians have to learn how to point in a non-aggressive way. Practice with a friend or in the mirror and nail this powerful nonverbal social cue!

    This is literally the best presentation advice ever. And I mean it. Whenever I ask people for help on how to form hand gestures, they say it just comes naturally but it for me it doesn't. I have to actually plan my hand motions and this is exactly what I needed. Ily so much Vanessa.

      It’s not developed naturally. Those people just unknowningly are around people who use hand gestures and so it’s adopted. I learned my hand gestures and confidence and they go hand in hand. It’s hard to learn especially in uncomfortable situations but honestly. Best way I found was just to fake it until I made it.it’s hard to have a convo and not use my hands lol.

I'm no longer try to hide my hands, but make it an effort to use them meaningfully. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

As someone who is interested in business, I have long not known how to sell myself, and shyed away from doing much front line marketing. Vanessa essentially is giving great tips on self marketing here...

    This is so true. When my students were doing their oral French exam, I would first ask the question without using much emotion or hand gesture and most students didn't understand except for the top ones. However, when I used emotion and hand gestures and asked the very same questions almost every student could understand what I was saying. I could see the invisible lightbulb go off in their head. All teachers should know the value of this.

    She's giving examples when she quoted and also using her hands in every word she personally said. No pause at all! With that speaking pace! Every public speaker would agree that "pause" is important. I think this should be applied in hand gestures as well.
    I hardly can finish the 1st minute of the video without feeling (visually) over stimulated. On the other hand, I agree this is full of great information we need to know. Also to learn not using it too much, haha!

    I totally agree with her that hand gestures give the speaker more character and they just make the speaker seem more passionate with what they are trying to convey. Plus, I've noticed that most people tend to use less gestures when they are disinterested or angry.

    Watched this and then immediately went to watch the only TED talk that stuck in my mind: Amy Cuddy/ Body language 40million views. She's absolutely right! Her hands 'narrate' the whole story beautifully - amazing!! I knew I enjoyed the talk, know I know why it's so effective.

      40 million views? Unless you're mistaken, I can't find it. Link?
