Why do public speakers use these, their hands, when they're speaking? The answer is because they're human beings. Human beings move their hands when they speak. Now I've been training people around the globe for 35 years and I can tell you a lot of people will say, T.J. i never move my hands when I speak. They're not self aware, they're not watching themselves. I video record people all over the world with their permission, public speaking classes. And I can tell you everybody in every culture around the world, they move their hands when they are speaking and they are comfortable. It's only when we are nervous and uncomfortable, where we feel this need to hold papers, put our hands over like this, put our hands behind our back. It's when we're self conscious. So what great speakers do is they try to do what they do is in normal conversation, they move their hands, they move their body. That means their face moves more, their voices have greater variety, and it's simply more interesting to listen to and to look at. So my advice, don't worry about keeping your hands from moving around, worry about keeping your hands frozen. You want to move your hands when you speak.
