Make Body Language Your Superpower

Body language, both the speaker's and the audience's, is a powerful form of communication that is difficult to master, especially if the speaker is nervous. This video will teach you how to use your body language effectively, read the audience's body language and what to do when they look bored or disconnected. Use these tools to enhance your nonverbal communication abilities and better connect with your audiences.

Can’t stop analyzing the body language of these people who are currently doing a presentation on body language.

"It may not feel the most comfortable, but it looks the most comfortable to your audience." *THIS* is what so many people need to hear.

I really appreciate the entertainment value Jeong brings to the table.

I was thinking “why does everyone look happy in this video”? Then I looked at how old this video was and it said 2014 and I’m like “ohhhh that’s why”. Gosh what a great year:(

I did everything they said, and now I have eight jobs.

The fact that there's room for improvement in the presenters' performance does not make the message wrong. Thank you for putting yourselves out there and using whatever tools you had at the time to help and educate us!

Body language is a symptom of confidence. Confidence comes from within. Mindfulness, exercise, healthy internal dialogue and a healthy internal relational system is what leads to confidence. Body language comes second. Prioritizing so heavily on how you physically present is incongruent with how you feel if the motivation for it is a lack of confidence. True confidence is accepting that you don't have confidence, and you don't care how people perceive you. Once your self talk and internal dialogue is healthy, your presentation changes and there won't be a need for this akwardness. Imo, most people versed in psychology can probably see through the inauthentic way these two present themselves.

I think the most important thing is self confidence, not being afraid of being laughed at, despised, or rejected once you are used to it nothing can bring you down when you’re doing presentations. A person that has nothing to lose is the most dangerous.

As a teacher from France, we NEED to have some classes about this. This would help so many young teachers.

I love how others look so proud and happy when their team mate speaks.

Me: *spends 12 years in school and doesn't learn anything about body language*
YouTube: "modern problems require *7 years old* solutions"

Once again, the algorithm has brought us together.

Just when I mastered these concepts, we're all doing virtual presentations now.

If you are reading this at night, you should get some sleep, and don't stress about everything going on in the world, or what you are going through. Don't dwell on things from the past, don't stress on your future. Just live your life, because you only get one. Do whatever makes you happy, not what other people want from you. For me, I'm gonna wake up tomorrow morning, get hit the gym, and cherish life for the amazing blessing that it is. I hope you do the same and have an amazing day as well!

I did everything they said. Zoom meeting went kinda weird.

This would be such a challenging topic to speak about because, with this topic of body language specifically, you're basically bringing all of the audience's attention and discussion to your body language, so I feel like I would have to have perfect confident body language throughout. They did an amazing job! Thanks for sharing. ❤

The key to gestures: make them look natural. You aren't a robot giving a speech, you're a human. Act like a human! As a former instructor in the Navy, they teach us these concepts during Instructor School. We constantly get evaluated throughout our tenure as instructors and we constantly improve until we become Master Training Specialists.

Great video showcasing proper gestures, moving around the room naturally, and using pauses/inflections to get your message across!
