In my experience speaking at global forums and conferences, body language has been a powerful tool for engaging audiences. To win them over, I focus on maintaining a strong posture, which conveys confidence and authority. Eye contact is crucial—it helps build a personal connection and shows that I value their attention. I also use open gestures, like keeping my hands visible and using purposeful movements, to appear approachable and reinforce key points. A calm, measured pace and occasional pauses allow my message to sink in, while my expressions align with the tone of my words to add authenticity. By mastering these non-verbal cues, I can establish trust and captivate the audience, even before I speak a word.

Plant your feet. Look at the four corners of the room. Make eye contact with audience members. Use gestures. Move with purpose and avoid pacing.

Audience reflects your energy & your energy is largely controlled by your body & vice-versa. Few simple tips to keep in mind. 1) Smile - Obvious but people still forget. Enter the hall with a broad smile. 2) Confidence - Assume that your audience is cheering for your & dying to listen to your words. It gives a different auro to your personality 3) Open palms - Don't hide your palms behind your back or in pocket. It's a sign of hostility. 4) Stand up straight with your shoulders back - First rule from 12 rules for life by Jordan Peterson. Works like a charm to build up authority. 5) Equal attention - Walk around the stage & look at each section of audience in regular intervals. Make everyone feel seen. That's how you win the audience!

'The body is `living memory' (Resnik 2005): our history is inscribed in our body. The traces of our infantile modes of relating can be discerned in our idiosyncratic physical and gestural patterns, in how we relate to our body as the site for loving exchanges or for the expression of hatred, in how the body may be experienced as a source of pleasure or of anxiety. All of our attempts at the modification of the body speak to these early experiences.' Under the Skin, Alessandra Lemma #body #memory #history

I trust that the more present I am, the more the natural movements and gestures will show themselves . Experiencing presence can be cultivated through letting the eyes find a spot somewhere in the background that catches your curiosity or is pleasing . Enjoy the spot and return to it as frequently as you need to as a way to anchor. "Orienting to the environment through the senses" . www.OrganicIntelligence.org
