In this brief YouTube monologue, Tom Krieglstein explains that listeners subconsciously monitor whether a speaker’s hands are visible, and that hidden hands can be perceived as suspicious. He references former FBI agent Joe Navarro’s observations from the book What Everybody Is Saying, emphasizing that hands function as nonverbal ambassadors that convey intent. Krieglstein then offers practical advice: keep your hands in view during Zoom meetings, dates, or any conversation, because visible hands help build trust and prevent misinterpretation.

Chapters

Did you know that when you are talking to someone, they're subconsciously checking out whether your hands are visible? I know it sounds weird, but it's actually true. In fact, as the former FBI agent from above here, Joe Navarro, he revealed in his book what Everybody Is Saying. He says that people may view you as suspicious if they can't see your hands while you're talking. Okay, this is a little awkward. Think about it, though. Our hands are like the nonverbal ambassadors sending signals about our intentions. So the next time you're in a meeting doing a zoom call, or if you're on a date, remember that your hands are speaking volumes, even when you may not be saying anything.
