Hands up!

Fellow speaker,

According to body language expert Alan Pease, the most effective gestures to involve and open your audience to your messages are "palms up" gestures. Gesturing with your palms up shows you are open, encouraging, supportive, and someone the audience wants to follow. However, when you want to add a little bit of authority to your gestures, turn your palms down.

Upwardly,
