Non-verbal communication represents one of the most fundamental pillars of communication; therefore, in this video, I am going to share with you the 10 most powerful body gestures that exist and explain how to incorporate them into your daily life easily. The first one is what I am doing right now, which involves finger enumeration. It is essential when you are presenting a topic, for example, creating the structure of a sardine skeleton as I explain in my first book. You will see that courses are often structured in blocks of three, and to make them more effective, we will enumerate different points. For example, the first point, the second point, moving on to the third, the fourth, the fifth. When you accompany your message in an orderly manner thanks to enumeration gestures with powerful hand gestures of numbering, you will allow the audience to follow your message clearly throughout. These small elements make a big difference; therefore, it is important to enumerate each of the points you are discussing: first, second, third, to make it easier for your audience to follow you. How can you practice this? One of the tricks is that when you are designing your presentation, it is good to prepare explanatory points on a specific topic. Notice that in this video, it is about the 10 powerful non-verbal communication gestures, and I have physically numbered them with my hands to accompany the message. Design structures that allow you to enumerate and use your fingers to emphasize these points. The second powerful gesture consists

Raising your hand up is a gesture that demonstrates a lot of honesty, transparency, and openness to the public. Therefore, in moments when you want to show confidence, openness, and that the public trusts you in a transparent and honest way, do not hesitate to use your palms facing the audience and also towards the sky, showing that openness. The third powerful gesture consists of directing your audience with your hands, where we will point to where we want them to look. For example, let's look at this slide. I recommend analyzing this fundamental element where, by pointing to different parts of your audience's visual spectrum, we will direct their attention to a specific place. This works very well if we also accompany it with our gaze. The audience also tends to look where you are looking. For example, if you say, Let's see here, and then you look away, the audience will tend to look where you are also looking. You can implement this easily in those moments where you want the audience to observe something specific, whether you are using visual aids, tools, or objects to complement your presentation. Take advantage of that moment to practice pointing and using your gaze to invite the audience to look in that direction. The fourth powerful gesture is to underline a very important phrase. What I just did right now in the air can be underlined; you can use it in different ways, either solely with your finger, pretending to have a pen, but pay attention.

This is very important, something that shows you are emphasizing, but in the air. This is crucial; let's take note. These kinds of gestures indicate that it is a key moment in your presentation so that the audience takes it into account and, in this way, pays much more attention. Therefore, let's not forget to take note of this to be able to implement, for example, a fundamental key: working on non-verbal communication. We also have to work on the use of eye contact and the use of voice. This way, we emphasize a lot and underline what is important. Fifth point, something I have seen a lot in passionate speeches is closing your fists with emotion when speaking passionately. It's as if you are about to hit another person, but what you are doing is containing your emotion. That is to say, in this case, we are going to talk about topics that are of vital importance. When you clench your fists and accompany the message in this way, you convey an unparalleled passion and emotion. This is essential; notice how I just emphasized it as well. Therefore, when one wants to show passion, do not hesitate to raise your fists to transmit that energy, that passion, and that message that is crucial for the audience to detect. Sixth powerful gesture is that you can apply this very easily when talking about the future. For example, if you are an investor, an entrepreneur, a manager, and you have to talk about the future of your company

As we deserve, let's take note of those key elements. We will position ourselves in the main cities to grow in a few years. When we point this out in this way, we make the audience shift their attention to the future and understand that we are not talking about the present moment. It is also very powerful to do the same towards the past. A few years ago, the company experienced these circumstances, and in the future, we will achieve different results. With these small changes, for example, I like to use the left arm towards the left for the past and towards the right for the future. However, this depends on each of you and your preferences. The seventh point is also one of the most important, which involves touching the chin, showing reflection. This is something you may have seen in many business leaders, executives, and influencers. When they are about to meditate, they position themselves in this way, reflect, and then speak in those important moments when you want to show the audience that you are thinking deeply, going into detail on the matter. It doesn't hurt to touch your chin as a sign of reflection, pause for a moment, and give them the key point. Look, Joaquin, we have been analyzing the company's accounts, and there is no way we can offer you the figure you are asking for. This shows a lot of serenity, a lot of reflection, and an inner perspective that the other person is carefully observing. Therefore,

You are reflecting on what you are going to say, the eighth powerful gesture. It is very important because when you are addressing your team and you want to tell them that you have to work together like clockwork, let's intertwine our hands in this way, uniting two pieces of a team. Therefore, we have to come together in this company, we have to unite in this adventure to achieve results that lead us to the future, allowing us to lead successfully. So, let's unite, let's have cohesion, and let's look towards the future with a positive outlook. By doing this, you make the audience feel that unity. It is a powerful gesture that is very simple to apply because it consists of intertwining hands and making a gesture of unity, as if shaking hands a little. Therefore, when you demonstrate this unity, you would say, Therefore, we have to work as a team, and in this way, we will achieve fantastic results in the future. You can apply this when talking about the unity of a team of people, and it works wonderfully. The ninth point is also very, very, very important, which consists of doing what I just did now, pointing towards the sky when talking about an important point. For example, if you want to tell your audience, Pay attention because this is very important, with this gesture, you are already setting the tone that it is something very interesting to listen to, something necessary that they cannot miss, and

Use those gestures where you want the audience to be aware that this message that is going to come out of your mouth from that moment on is worthy of being heard, studied, and internalized. And finally, the tenth powerful gesture consists of those important moments where you want to convey all the passion and you have to tell your team that it is essential that we embrace change. We will fist bump the palm of the hand to demonstrate that energy and that we have it there; we can also achieve it with the back of the hand. Instead of a fist, the back of the hand, the goal is to make it feel like a clap to convey that energy, that need we have to outperform the competition in those moments where we want to ignite passion. It also serves for moments when you want to reach a conclusion. Therefore, what we have to do is mark that difference between the beginning and the development to then reach the conclusion. Use it in those moments when you want to emphasize passion and energy to drive a call to action or to close by saying, Therefore, let's conclude this intervention or Therefore, this is what we have achieved. I hope these 10 powerful gestures help you in your daily life. I am Fernando Miralles, and it has been a pleasure to be your teacher again this week. Subscribe to not miss the next classes.
