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 highlight some of the most widely recognizable gestures and their meanings. Here are the first four.
- Leaning forward towards the speaker: The listener is interested in what is being shared.
- Shrugging shoulders: The listener has no opinion of what is being said. They are indifferent.
- Gritting teeth: The listener is angry.
- Wrinkled or furrowed brow: The listener is contemplating or puzzled by what the speaker has said.
What other nonverbal cues have you observed as a speaker or presenter?
