In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This is a good talk.
He talked 0% about himself and 100% about the subject.

I looked at my teachers after this. and jfc it's so true. The teachers no one listens to are palms down, the strict ones are the finger pointers, the ones everyone likes and sit quiet and listen to are palms up. My world image is changed

“Body language is an outward reflection of your emotional condition.” That makes so much sense.

[hatemkhrouf]

Simple yet very effective, I love learning stuff like this .

10:21  that guy with the black shirt on the right is really having so much fun right now

[GJKincses]

Always remember " A great communicator is a person who can hear and see whether a person is listening or not- body language reinforces it - Thanks for sharing Alan and TEDX

I actually tried this today with my difficult supervisor. I am a letter carrier and she NEVER wants to give me overtime, even though my route earns it. Tuesdays are ad days... I dread them because I know she will deny the overtime help. So today, when she came around to my case, I put my palms up and said in a question tone, "an hour?" she said wth? I can't believe it worked!

[rotiwokeman]

I like how he ends his talk with something along the lines of "I just got you employed, promoted, and laid all at the same time."

Edit: Sheesh. That's a bunch of likes.

[lahiridude]

One of the most humorous and informative TED talks I've seen so far haha.. the example of the palms being up while directing people out of a burning building was hilarious

I'm a real estate agent. Today I was showing a property and I noticed I even walk around with my hands in my pockets. Every time I noticed it I took them out but had no idea what to do with them. Now I know. I practiced some of these hand gestures and even with the palms up I felt confident, friendly, likeable and my adrenaline level is out of the roof now. I want to go tomorrow and sell a house and close that deal!

The Romans knew this years ago, that's why Italians talk with their hands.

[CosmopolitanFools]

Allan Pease is a master of inter-personal communication. He provides examples, gesturing & body language, facial expression, & ALSO scientific demographics & percentages, comparative studies & results - all supporting everything he is relating to the public. He uses the verbal dynamics of volume, pausing, emphasis of single words - modulating . . . he adhered to everything theme to theme.

I love studying body language and how you can tell if someone is holding themselves naturally or forcing it. It can be easy to tell if someone has a basic knowledge of body language and is manipulating it.

[viamargarita]

I’m honoured to shake Allan Pease hands in this video and he exactly described my personality 🙌

[bathtub_farter]

I landed a lucrative job using this. Thank you TED. This guy is legendary.

[itsnotthesamething]

I am extremely shy, so, after watching a video last night, about facing the person you are talking to head on, and looking them in the eye, I did so this evening, with a girl who would hardly talk to me before. I think it went well. I'm going to keep watching these kinds of videos, and I am going to put into practice, the things I learn. I am tired of feeling like the outsider, but I see that I was sending all the wrong messages, with my body language.

[walterblack]

This is why I watch TED talks. Allan Pease is an excellent presenter whose body language is as engaging as his content. With just the right amount of humor (Now you can go into politics!) he presents information that everyone can understand, he teaches the audience how to implement his teaching, and he gives us motivation to follow his teaching by providing benefits personally, socially and even politically. The art of persuasion is just that, an art, so what this TED talk provides is thought provoking insights as to how we can be more likable, more confident and even more charismatic. This is an outstanding presentation.

This really is true. You can see so much in someone's palm and it indicates openness & honesty when you display your palms to others. The back of the hand indicates shyness, anxiousness or intimidation (especially when used with a finger point). It's crazy really that it has so much of an effect on the way you come across to others.

I love Australians. Brilliantly delightful and smart people. Excellent training.
