Body Language
What is this ?
Imagine that you are watching through a window as someone
does a presentation to a group of people in a room. You can't
actually hear the presenter's voice, but :
• he or she seems to be speaking clearly,
• is making eye contact with various people in the room,
• is emphasizing points using appropriate gestures,
• appears to be in command of the material, and exudes
enthusiasm.
What would be your reaction ?

USE OF HAND GESTURES

Transforming lives, Enriching future


Use of Hand Gestures

• You can use your hands to emphasize points.


• Not only does it draw the attention of the audience,
but it can be very useful in aiding clarification.
• But in general, plan to keep your hands clasped
together or holding on to the podium, cue cards, etc.
and only occasionally making some gesture.

USE OF FACE GESTURES
USE OF FACE GESTURES
Do you think the audience will like it if :
• you appear to be happy?
• you are smiling ?

Caution! Most
audience are ab
le
to detect a fake
smile!
Use of Face Gestures

Do you think the audience will notice:


• If you appear tired ?
• If you are angry
(at the audience or any person) ?
• If you are nervous ?

Facial expressions can show most of these.


A happy, smiling face, showing interest,
in the audience is important.
Avoid an expressionless face
(who wants to see such a face?).
EYE
CONTACT
Use the ZIG-ZAG
technique
Use the 8
technique
Use of Whole Body
Gestures
Whole body gestures cover aspects such as –
• your posture (how you stand),
• your use of action (body orientation).

How do you stand - at attention, at ease, leaning against


something, sitting on the edge of a table.
(sitting on a chair – unlikely we hope) ?

In many cases, gestures are used to draw further attention to


yourself. And often the more exaggerated they are, the more
attention you get.
ENTER THE ROOM WITH LONG
STRIDES

• Walking into a room with a long strides and straight


posture reflects a person with long term goals, and one
who is willing to take risks
• Conveys self confidence
POSTURE
• Do not slouch or hunch.
• Maintain a straight posture.
POSTURE
• An open torso conveys trust.
• Keep the center of your body open by keeping your
hands uncrossed whenever possible.
Folding the arms may be a good
method to reduce DISTRACTING
HAND GESTURES.
Yet, many scholars suggest that
this could be a sign of being
‘uptight’ and ‘not willing to
share’.

A closed, uninviting posture subconsciously BLOCKS


your audience’s receptiveness and can DETER them
from engaging in your presentation.
