Stop doing THIS with your hands!

Hand gestures for executive presence start with one simple rule: get your elbows off your sides. Most professionals unconsciously "T-Rex" their gestures, keeping their arms tight and small. This instantly diminishes your authority in the room. Instead, imagine a sphere around your torso. Your hands should move freely within this space, reaching the edges without hesitation. This is your power sphere. When you use hand gestures that fill this space, you naturally command more attention. Your physical presence expands. People perceive you as more confident and credible. The mistake? Being afraid to take up space. Your gestures should be deliberate and expansive, not cramped and apologetic. Try this in your next presentation or meeting. Notice how differently people respond when you own your physical space.
