@theandyharrington: Watch his hands, not his slides. Steve Jobs kept returning to the same hand position. Fingertips together, forearms relaxed, nothing moving. It's called the steeple, and it reads as thinking rather than performing. Audiences read it as authority for a simple reason. Stillness is expensive. Nervous people can't hold it. The mistake almost everyone makes is finding the position and then bouncing the fingertips while they talk. Tap, tap, tap. The moment that starts, the effect inverts. You've just told the room you're impatient, or worse, nervous. Hold it. Don't tap it. And don't hold it all talk either, a gesture that never changes stops meaning anything. #PublicSpeaking #BodyLanguage #PresentationSkills #SpeakingTips
