The other thing that I learned from studying your work is this idea of the power sphere when you're on stage.

This power sphere, I've got a picture here.

Mark Bowden is an incredible body language expert and I was lucky to do some coaching with him when I lived in the US.

And he taught me this concept of the area between your belly button and your eyes.

So when you're gesturing to people, a lot of people who are shy, they gesture below the power sphere.

So again, they're doing all these different things, but they're doing this.

Because they're- Because they're playing small.

And again, I get a lot of my female students ask me this question.

They say, oh, Vin, I feel like I don't have enough presence.

What is this elusive thing called executive presence?

It's vocal presence and physical presence.

And how you use your hand gestures allows you to level up your physical presence.

So if you've got better physical presence because you're using your hand gestures within the power sphere, all of a sudden you've got that executive presence that they're talking about.

So you need to get your elbows off your sides. 100%, yeah, yeah.

Again, I think of myself as having this sphere around me, the way that I remember Mark sharing this with me, and not be afraid to go to the edges of the sphere.

Don't be afraid to go to the edges of the sphere.

Otherwise we tend to, a lot of people t-rex it, right?

And then there are foundational gestures you should learn paired with this.

The first one, which you're doing already, Virginia Satir came up with these, and she was a family therapist, and she came up with the foundation to hand gestures.

So you've got your hands, for people that can't see, you've got your hands.

Beautiful gesture to show that, hey, I have no weapons, I have nothing to attack you with, right?

Wonderful way to greet people as they come in.

No, instead of surrendering, just kind of hands up, hey, great to see you.

Great, however, it's closely related to its cousin, I don't know, right?

So if you want more authority, you use what's the second one, called leveller.

Feels a bit we're doing sitting down, but this is leveller, right?

I'm saying this a lot to my daughter at the moment.

She's a one-year-old, very sweet, very naughty.

So it's implicator, say melody, stop doing that.

You're gonna do the same thing now in leveller.

Okay, so in, and give me more volume in three, two.

I didn't tell you what to really even do.

What had changed with your vocal quality, sorry?

It went, the pitch went, okay, the pitch went down.

Because I was doing anger, a bit of frustration.

What's fascinating about what just happened there is people are afraid of a monotone voice and they don't realise that a monotone voice comes from a monotone body.

So you just moved your body from this to this and you created a different sound.

As the voice is connected to the body, the body is connected to the voice.

And the biggest mistake you see here within this realm here is, you do, imagine you did a great keynote.

At the end of the keynote, imagine I did this.

I was going to say, with the level of one where you start pointing your hands down, I thought you wanted to get off stage.
