things very well and when they are collaborating and
participating in the work that they are doing.

The Importance of Hand
Gestures
●
hand and arm movements - are an important part of our visual picture when
we speak in public.
●
If we use gestures correctly, they will help us enhance our message and we will
appear confident and relaxed.
●
They are reinforcements of the words and ideas we are trying to convey.
●
Hand gestures are nonverbal representation of how we feel.
Public
Speaking Tips
Fitzgerald

Distracting hand gestures
●
Hands on hips = condescending, parental, overbearing.
●
Crossed arms = cutting off, disagreeing, wanting to protect.
●
Hands crossed in front (fig leaf) = feeling weak, timid, needing protection.
●
Hands joined behind your back = you’re on parade!
