Audience Nonverbal Cues - Part 4

If you have ever presented to an audience, you know that the audience also communicates with you via nonverbal gestures.   Over the next few weeks, I will continue to highlight some of the most widely recognizable gestures and their meanings.  Here are the next four nonverbal cues you should be on the lookout for as a speaker.
Twiddling thumbs is an indication of boredom.
Wringing hands is a sign of anxiety or nervousness.
Glancing sideways or physically drawing back shows the listener is suspicious of what you are saying or doing.
Stroking the cheek indicates the listener is receptive to what you are saying.
