I thought this was interesting. and I love to share tidbits.
Are Your Hands Mumbling?
Arms and hands are part of effective communication. And just as with
speaking, clarity makes a difference.
* Hands are most effective when they reinforce what is being said.
* Arms and hands mid-level, in conjunction with what is being said,
help clarify.
* When arms/hands are more enthusiastic than the voice, they can be
distracting.
* Unison arms/hands, pumping in rhythm, are like speaking in monotone.
* Arms/hands above the head tend to read as shouting.
* Arms/hands low with little movement tend to read as whispering.
* Arms/hands locked at the waist, in a number of positions, are like
mumbling.
more on this in March..
