When you talk to others, you probably unconsciously move your hands or clap them somewhere to better emphasize what you care about most.
Although it may be instinctive, it turns out that holding your hands a certain way makes a big difference in the impression you make on others, especially when it comes to work relationships.
There is a certain hand holding position that helps you win an argument as body gestures are much more powerful than you think.
For example, investors are more interested in seeing a video in which the entrepreneur is using hand gestures to describe and illustrate his ideas than when he is simply holding them against his body.
This is because gestures (generally hands when talking about work matters) also convey the words you are trying to say. How should you keep them if you want to 100% win your token?
1. Be sure to position your fingers precisely
By doing this, you ask your audience to pay attention and focus them precisely on your idea. By joining the first two fingers and creating the "ring" you say to the audience without speaking: "This is where we should focus all our attention".
2. Be coherent and accompany the numbers you say with words and fingers
This strengthens your message even more and makes it easier for others to remember. You say three and show three fingers.
3. Keep your hand close to your heart
If you want to make others understand how important the conversation is to you, keep your hand close to your heart. Touching it every now and then lets you know how emotional or sensitive what you're saying is about you.
4. Move both hands as if they were ladders
This helps others understand the importance of a decision. When, for example, you are comparing two decisions, weigh them with your hands so that the message is conveyed exactly and it is understood which decision is worth taking.
