  • 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.

    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.

    I really appreciate this speaker. Much to derive from this. Sometimes I feel very very not charming, so I think I am one to learn to use techniques, but also be authentic at the same time. 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...

    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!

    Thank you so much for these subtle tips. If there was an emoji for it my hand is on my heart as I type this. It is amazing how many things both overt and subtle affect others. There is a text book I read in the 80's that has become a publicly circulated book called "Influence". Its more on the macro scale of influence but I am sure you will find many points of wisdom you can share with all the wonderful people who follow you now.
