Public Speaking Tip: What to do With Your Hands

When it comes to public speaking and presentation skills training, one of the biggest fears people have is what they should do with their hands. They're constantly saying, "I feel awkward about my hands."
What should you do with your hands?
1. Don't focus on your hands. Focus on your alignment. Make sure your body is aligned to the person you're looking at. That means your toes, hips and shoulders are facing a person.
2. Put your hands at your sides. Unlock them. Even though it may feel awkward for a few seconds, they are now in position to gesture and connect with that individual.
If you're aligned and looking at someone, the gestures will happen all by themselves.
When you have proper alignment and you've got your hands unlocked, I guarantee you those gestures will work and you'll look much more relaxed.
