Hello…. I enjoy all your clips. I would like a copy of your book. However, I am unable to locate. Can you assist with any site or publisher I can order from. Much appreciated!!!
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.
1) numbers 2) increase and decrease, little or big 3) emotional (reach for heart region) 4) groups and division (cuff hands) 5) coming together 6) okay 7) you me and we
I wish I had your guidance earlier in my career. I'm a typical New Yorker and talk with my hands. I've always been so conscious of speaking with my hands and have been trying to hide it when in a corporate environment. Thank you for teaching me how to use my hands to enforce my expressions. I'm no longer try to hide my hands, but make it an effort to use them meaningfully. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Vanessa exudes a warmth that effortlessly envelops her audience, drawing them into the intricate world of effective communication through body language. With an empathetic touch, she navigates the complexities, unraveling the subtleties of non-verbal cues with remarkable ease. Her innate understanding transcends mere comprehension; it transcends barriers, resonating deeply with those eager to grasp the art of expression. Her methods? They're not just theories; they're proven pathways, meticulously tailored to guide, inspire, and empower her audience towards effective and impactful communication.
Vanessa is a warm person with an empathetic way to explain (effective) communication with body language. She gets it and extends those concepts to her audience very well. Her methods work!
huh, i already accidentally do all of these. i thought it was maybe annoying to the listener and was trying to stop, so it's good to hear that it's helpful to convey messages this way!
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!
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.
This is the best expansion to the strong hand movements; a speaker can do. It will assist with delivering a striking message in a respectable way. Splendid!
As a new presenter this information gives me great direction and encouragement to use my hands where I would otherwise not. Thanks! I'll be back for more instruction.
This video is fantastic! It highlights 7 impactful hand gestures for presentations. Whether emphasizing key points or connecting with the audience, integrating these gestures will undoubtedly enhance any delivery. Thanks for sharing these valuable insights
Thank you Vanessa. Very pragmatic and down to earth advice. I just recently started to consciously notice the hand gestures. At a subconscious level I guess I did notice it because all people I found charismatic happen to use them a lot and now I started incorporating them on my everyday life.
U r an expert in body language.. I m from India.. I love ur videos.. Pl concentrate on body language and non verbal communication videos.. From whatever I ve seen of u, I could make up that ur body language videos are straight from d heart.. I don't say that other videos are not good but body language videos are simply awesome.. I was a person who talked much in my early days only to ultimately notice that only empty vessels make more noice.. So I m in the process of learning gestures so that I can reduce talking.. U r helping me a lot in that aspect.. Thank u 🙏💕 mam
And I think maybe that's why you instantly grow to like them so much because it realllllllly feels so passionate when they talk. Good thing they do this :)
Thank you, Vanessa, for these powerful hand gestures. I have been using these gestures without realizing their power. Now, I can use them intentionally😊
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.
Yeah Vanessa it would be an undoubtedly impressive and effective conversation which could help us to connect with others easily during conversation if we start using our hand gestures during Conversation.
I think this eloquent and calming hand gestures. Some people are aggressive with their hand gestures and it is not as transitional into peace and thoughtfullness.
Wow, that was powerful Vanessa! You are incredible! I started practicing some of the hand gestures as soon as the video ended. Thank you for helping us become better communicators with person and on video. 🤟
I always feel like I've learned a wealth of knowledge from all of your interviews. Thank you for helping us be more charismatic, I really appreciate it!
Excellent video!!! As a leader, as a person pursing public speaking, and charismatic person.... this is a phenomenal video that I would share to people wanting to learn about body language.
I talk with my hands a lot, this will really help me hone in on it what exactly to do with those hands during my talks and videos! Just finished your Udemy course, you are awesome! No jazz hands 😂
+going2sleep That's better. But now I've found another mistake or maybe a typo? I think you meant to write "IT" not "I". But I'll let you off this time. Originally it was the Italians that used hand gestures but now I notice lots of people using them. People need to use them at the right times not willy nilly.
Very sensible and real-world advice. I've only recently been mindful of the hand motions. As they are frequently used by the captivating people I find, I suppose I subconsciously became aware of it. As a result, I started incorporating them into my daily activities.
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.
I always wondered why I can't draw people to me with conversations even tough I'm an interesting person. Been searching for a while now and boom I just found out why. Very good video miss Vanessa and very helpful.
I am so glad I happened upon this channel. I am in the talent industry and always need to learn new and easier ways to improve my skills. When the next audition comes, I have better tools to ensure booking more work. Why was I never taught this??? Thank you 😊
The way this host is reacting (paused at the 2:09 mark) is a lot like the way I find myself reacting to just about everything Vanessa shares with us. It really does make a lot of sense, but so does 2 + 2 = 4 after you have learned it.
Fantastic Talk Venessa- so impressive- your hand gestures are congruent to what you speak- I cannot do this...Males use fewer hand gestures compared to their counterparts....not sure why?
Years ago, a little girl said to her mom, "Mommy, why does the lady talk with her hands?" That was the first time, I realized how expressive I was and how much I used my hands when communicating. Vanessa, thank you for sharing your findings.
You are welcome. I have just come across the Science of People; however, I have insatiable appetite when it comes to understanding the mind and body connection. I am eager to learn all I can about how humans being work, and communicate. One of my favorite books is Power vs Force by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. What were your thoughts on the book?
I really liked the video but I think pointing can also be fun when you use it say hi to a friend when you see them as long as you show a friendly face with the pointing.
i dont think i would manage those hand gestures in normal, unprepared conversation. you can see what she wants to tell you before she tells you. she is absolutely electric in this video, love it
Vanessa, I am quickly becoming (up goes my pointer finger) your #1 fan!! Your content is inspirational and you, you are aspirational. I'm hooked!! For all the time and effort you put into this channel, THANK YOU!! -AG
Wowwww this is wonderful. I'm blessed to have found your channel. It's been more than one year that I didn't open my LinkedIn account. I just did it tonight to check up on my profile and saw one of Vanessa's video. I then rushed to RUclips as i believed she must have a channel. I like the way you love what you are doing. You are so interesting to listen to 👍👍👍👍👍👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I'll start by saying, this chick is really good at what she does. BUT, having watch about 15-20 of her segments, I've noticed a couple things: 1) She's on "AM Northwest" a lot...hahahaha....AM Northwest, and 2) The lady (and the funny guy) that 'interviews' her are the real money here! ...surprise...stooging.....bewilderment, and excitement.,..the older lady is like her Ed McMahon to Johnny Carson; acts 'in on it" perfectly. Nice work! Thanks again!
I just found this video. I got a lot of good advices after watching this video. FYI, Javanese are always pointing with their thumb when they want to be polite in order to give someone direction. It had been started since long time ago. I presume that should be some special chemistry for human arround the world who wants to be polite, because the way they expressing it is almost similar.

I wish this chick had more time to say what she has to say. She sounds so rushed and the information is so good.
+SnobbyLion : You just need to listen more quickly.
That's soo true if her videos could be a little longer. That would be great
Watch the video on .5 speed.
lmao wat
You can watch some of the videos that she has produced on her own, rather than the excerpted clips from the portland morning television show.
you have condensed a lot of knowledge into a few minutes. extremely useful videos.

Wow, thank you so much for these thoughtful and kind words!
Vanessa is a warm person with an empathetic way to explain (effective) communication with body language. She gets it and extends those concepts to her audience very well.
Her methods work!
To be frank, I have been using none. This skill has had tremendous impact on my speaking style.
huh, i already accidentally do all of these. i thought it was maybe annoying to the listener and was trying to stop, so it's good to hear that it's helpful to convey messages this way!
Same with me...
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.

She totally killed it!!! I want to talk like her! :O
Me too !!!
Vanessa is a pro, I've got to put this stuff to good use.
The old lady sounds like her mind has been blown
Haha it's really cute :) She's so excited about it, really genuinely interested :)
Mine too! :)
Acts like her mind has been blown*
Yeah, she partied hard in the 70's
El Player21 phonies
I learned more from this video than 3 years of experimenting on RUclips. I need to practice this... thank you
Wow! That is great to hear. You are so welcome!
Takeaway: Great video! Hand gestures helps one emphasize certain points and strengthen one’s public speaking for sure.
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?

OMG! She seems a really amazing person! I would love to meet her one day.
Freemasonic non-verbal communication gesturing is being taught to the public as 'powerful'. No surprise. Tv Programming at it's best! THANKS! :)
Yes, and the devil horns and pyramid seems to be the favorite for both TV and U-tube representing the worship of satan and money.
As a new presenter this information gives me great direction and encouragement to use my hands where I would otherwise not. Thanks! I'll be back for more instruction.
I saw Vanessa Ted talk yesterday and been obsessed ever since! She's been teaching me soooo much

Tapping into all of people’s senses you possibly can, will impact your ability to influence them.
This is an amazingly insightful video. The first impression you get is being delivered by an expert
This is brilliant - hand gestures that actually are natural and support the words, instead of distracting from what is being said. Thank you!
this actually makes sense! amazing.
This is awesome work, so nicely presented!
Wow, that was powerful Vanessa! You are incredible! I started practicing some of the hand gestures as soon as the video ended. Thank you for helping us become better communicators with person and on video. 🤟

I always use hand gestures. I helps me make my thoughts flow. I always done it.
+going2sleep "I always done it" ?? Boy, good thing you use your hands. lol
Sorry teacher, I've always done that. Do I get a smiley face now?

I have an important meeting coming up, and this is extremely helpful!
It went really well and I made sure my hands were not hidden behind my hands.
So helpful! I find myself naturally doing the heart gesture, and now I know why it feels so good. :) Thank you for the thoughtful tips.

This is fantastic man....Great work Vanessa!
Hats Off To You Lady 😃
I just found this video. I got a lot of good advices after watching this video. FYI, Javanese are always pointing with their thumb when they want to be polite in order to give someone direction. It had been started since long time ago. I presume that should be some special chemistry for human arround the world who wants to be polite, because the way they expressing it is almost similar.
