A gesture is a specific bodily movement that reinforces a verbal message or conveys a particular thought or emotion. Hands can be a marvelous tool of communication when you speak.  Use purposeful gestures to: 

  • Clarify and support your words
  • Dramatize your ideas
  • Lend emphasis and vitality to the spoken word
  • Dissipate nervous tension
  • Function as visual aids
  • Stimulate audience participation
