One key to the success of a person while talking and discussing in public is to the movement of his hand.


When studying at Goldsmiths College, London, Alice May Williams and Jasmine Johnson saw that scholars often use a number of repetitive hand movements when they're talking. At first it was only visible at a glance, but eventually look very clear.

Based on the results of their findings, Williams and Johnson eventually create a page titled 'A Glossary of Gestures for Critical Discussion'. Here is a brief explanation:

1. 'The Critical Whirl'



"Fast and repeat until the idea across."

2. 'The Backhand Slap'



"Use as a strengthening movement when the opponent did not seem to react."

3. 'The Point'



"Use to direct the views of all people in the direction of a particular individual or object."

4. 'The Shelf Sweep'



"Use the time to explain the hierarchy."

5. 'Picking Up Small Ideas'



"Use only when sitting in front of an audience."

6. 'Academic Flexing Muscle'



"Use when taking an idea from its original context and placing it somewhere else."

7. 'The Italian Waiter'



"Use when creating a cultural observation."

8. 'The Dialectic'



"Use the time revealed a shift from one thing to another."

9. 'The Tiny Dialectic'



"Use the time to dismantle specific details or when too embarrassed to use the motion 'The Dialectic'"

How Do? Easy, right? However, if only by listening to the picture you just can not imagine it, maybe you can also buy several items designed range of motion of the hand on the site Banner Repeater.
