I was nervous last week about standing up in front of my entire company and giving a presentation. I didn’t have to talk for very long, but I still sweated about it.
I thought I ended up doing okay, and people said I did well. But then I watched a video of the presentation. I’ve always believed that you can tell a lot about what people are really thinking by the way they use hand gestures. If you only listened to what I was saying, you’d think that I was completely focused on how increasing marketing activities can drive growth and help the company reach its revenues. If you look at my hands, however:
...apparently it’s more along the lines of “I’ve got a really cool new way to roll a doobie.”
At least you weren’t mimicking touching yourself.
“I’ve got a really cool new way to roll a doobie” goes hand in hand with hitting revenue targets through increased marketing activities.
Where do they think all those sexy, new marketing campaigns are coming from?
and I am sure everyone focused on that ONE millisecond!
Yes, coupled with the slightly glazed and stoned look in your eyes, I’d say it is quite suggestive.
what i want to know is where is your other hand?
the mind boggles.
Or maybe giving a lecture on how to make shadow puppets. “This is a dog; if you touch your thumb and middle finger it barks.”
