Importance of hand gestures in communication


Imagine a person doing a presentation without the hand gesture, he/she just stands there and talk, imagine how hard is it to stay focus on what ever he’s saying even how interesting his presentation is but however overly use of hand gesture can be so annoying. Gestures are body action The appropriate use of hand gestures gives a speaker confidence and let him/herself express his/her emotions effectively and clearly, this also gets the listeners attention and help speaker describe or elaborate his topic. Here is a website that show what certain hand gestures mean and how to use those,
Be sure to visit this site because this surely will help you develop your hand gestures when talking.

But there are also danger in hand gestures, aside from that overly use of hand gesture could be so annoying, hand gestures could mean something else in other countries, as we learned in the beginning of our business communication course that there are cultural barriers, and gesture is one of those, we have to be really careful in using hand gestures in other countries and cultures, we can offend our audience.
