    7 Powerful Hand Gestures You Should Be Using

    Research has shown that hand gestures make anyone more trustworthy, likable and charismatic. In this video, I'm going to teach you what hand gestures you should be using on a daily basis. Hand gestures support memorability, trustworthiness, and clarity. These powerful hand gestures can be used in normal social interactions, networking events, or presentations and can leave a great lasting impression! For some people, hand gestures come naturally, but others must practice. For example, in this video I mention how politicians have to learn how to point in a non-aggressive way.

    The Science of Black Friday Shopping
