HOW TO USE YOUR HANDS WHEN PRESENTING

Dominic from dominiccolenso.com here with some top tips on how to use your hands when presenting.
The most common question I get asked in my public speaking training sessions is "What do I do with my hands?". In this video I am going to show you some simple techniques to help you look completely comfortable and in control.
When presenting and talking in meetings you should be able to express yourself freely. Use your hands in the same way that you use them when you chat with your friends! The first thing you need to do is become comfortable with what I call "a resting place". Just letting your hands rest by the side of your body. This takes a bit of practice. Once you're happy with that, use your hands to help you connect with your words and share your passion with your audience. Just be ware of repetitive gesture!
I hope that you find my tips on “how to use your hands when presenting” useful. Please share your comments with me in the box below and I'd love to hear about any other trick that work for you.
Keep shining!

I wish the camera was zoomed out a bit more to see the full arm/hands when the arms are extended.

[@divyanimaloo4355]

perfect answer to those who criticise me for being so enthusiastic when i speak publicly.. thank you..
will always remember..
When you indulge into something you are passionate about.. these things take care of themselves.. 😊

[@yellowgreengo6764]

it comes and goes, after world wars people are much more silent and measured. usually feminized societies like many today are emphatically strong and hyper socialized instead of stoical and reserved.

[@snakecodm7249]

" they start touching themselves...people get very uncomfortable" classic lol :)))

[@zimshah]

[@islamb4b4]

Very nice for beginners

[@zandrewmorano10]

I absolutely don't use my hands when speaking xD, but I'm forced to do it today sadly :(. I am struggling so much with hand gestures :(.

[@fatdabs7379]

Let it flow. U can't force the movement. Motions are feelings.

[@xxxbernumxxx]

I agree with you. Never did understand the whole hand talking thing. I though it had to do with ADHD hahaha

[@MrAqadii]

Thank you

[@ryanreedgibson]

It helps being a handsome Brit too I bet. Great video!

[@huntercarney3151]

Thanks for the tip. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Lights (ultimately). The best gift of all has our names engraved in the palm of His hands. His love for us is stronger than death, and is able to redeem us from sin and death. Blessings

Now im embarrassed remembering the time when i fake my 'hand gesture' for half of 1 semester coz "i dont want to look stiff but at the same time i was obviously became awkward"

[@vcwsh8803]

I am looking at how to use your hand for different message

[@attaullah7700]

Sir, your hand gestures /movements are really very impressive,attracting, but what would you suggest for me to adopt the hands movements as you move. I do not know how to connect my verbal words with my hands movement s. How one can coordinate his speech(spoken word s) with his hands movements, seen your mind help thnx

[@varunsharma2068]

Wah bete.moj kar di

[@Shaniloka369]

I do that. How can't I make a match with my thoughts and hands gesture?

[@fatdabs7379]

Why stop? You have a beautiful talent to be able to express emotions and body movement

[@billkage4279]

Just a reminder, this is Dominic Colenso presenting and not Ewan McGregor.

[@chelgegalo6565]

Alright, who else are jealous on how he moves his hands

[@oskarpersson9533]

My arms are too long for dropping them to the sides. It makes me look like slenderman

[@trefwoordpunk2225]

Unless you are signing for the deaf, do nothing with your hands when you speak.

[@rolando3853]

Annoying hand movements suck

[@sueveleke455]

I will not watch RUclipsrs who wiggle their fingers and constantly point to things--hate it.

[@faygakaplan775]

Thank you
