People sub-consciously decipher your body language signals and make decisions about your personality. Body language plays a crucial role in influencing people\u2019s perception of your character, which is why it\u2019s absolutely vital to make conscious attempts to embody positive body language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many celebrities, politicians, actors and speakers display charismatic energy through their body language that people fall in love with. Here are a few body language secrets that influencers use to win over their audience that you can incorporate in your own videos:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Talk with your hands<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use your hands and palms to look energetic and excited about what you\u2019re talking. Convey your points by making appropriate hand gestures to accentuate your sentences. You don\u2019t want to sound robotic and motionless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/DaNwD0SPavhF6\/giphy.gif\" width=\"806\" height=\"460\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Show your palms face up<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baring your palms upfront shows that you have nothing to hide and will let people know that they can trust you. However, make sure that you don\u2019t put down your palms or point your fingers as it can be interpreted as being authoritative and domineering.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/zHHWxTh_gqY1XgMy_byNFk3JIKKSZxiVQW54Vtwvwg36OBnCPHbshQqUZNG6AEm1np3xAAUEUX7vgwOy5Ee0dw2uUream8-BSq00XEBmwAHF7W1FZkX27QIcDQqnBaq8pmGvRXJ7\" width=\"806\" height=\"351\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Use open body language<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid crossing your arms or legs in any way. Replace these closed gestures with open arm gestures instead. This will make you look more inviting rather than appearing defensive and rebellious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/3oKIPxNxhNMbW3fw1a\/giphy.gif\" width=\"811\" height=\"345\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Use steepling gestures<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place the tips of both your fingers together to form a diamond shape when you want to exude confidence. This steeple gesture makes you look like you\u2019re intelligent and have all the right answers. This is a great sign to brand yourself as a thought leader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Steeple Of Confidence\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AUuozpxo2Zk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Smile genuinely<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smiling more is the secret to magnetism. However, make sure your smile is real. A real smile makes wrinkles appear on the sides of your eyes and under your eyes. Additionally, a fake smile is lopsided and only appears on one side of your face, whereas a genuine smile is symmetrical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-343 \" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/14132508\/unnamed-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"812\" height=\"495\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong> Place your elbows on top of your chair\u2019s arms<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re conducting an interview or shooting a solo video perched on a chair, make sure you sit upright with your elbows on top of your chair\u2019s arms. This will make you seem thoughtful, goal-oriented and focused. Letting your hands drop down the side of your chair shows that you\u2019re deflated and unenthusiastic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/E4KyEKTbo4SokEvKcsvmvikR9QUg7IiVshmS4ZR6OzLeG4mhy03QhWj32axjRk6cPq9DbSz77JqtRdFsQb8g637WwAJkM4EjfSBWTgvpp0kwR72cH1juYkZ7_jMApiZWNDId5qD4\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong> Rub your palms together<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need to tell your viewers that you\u2019re excited about revealing a surprise or a new event around the corner, rub your hands together quickly. This shows that you\u2019re eager and can\u2019t wait to show people what\u2019s in store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/l0DAHmJva9dOQi8b6\/giphy.gif\" width=\"816\" height=\"429\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong> Make a face platter<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place your hands under your face and tilt your head slightly. This is a common courtship ritual women subconsciously use to look appealing. If you want your audience to fall in love with your glamour, the face platter is an effective way to attract attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/dmZFCRGVGgfqZHNKqy\/giphy.gif\" width=\"813\" height=\"810\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong> Display your thumbs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next time you want to place your hands in your pocket, make sure that your thumb sticks out. Displaying your thumb symbolises authoritative and confident attitudes that are used by power players.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-344 \" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/14132517\/unnamed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"812\" height=\"393\" \/><\/p>\n<p>10. <strong>Raise your eyebrows<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raise your eyebrows and smile when you\u2019re opening your video and saying hello to your viewers. This shows that you\u2019re friendly, approachable and genuinely happy to be wherever you are. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/VlkoJmKj7HHJS\/giphy.gif\" width=\"812\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"11\">\n<li><strong> Point your foot in the right direction<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your legs indicate where your mind wants to go. If you\u2019re taking an interview, make sure that one of your feet is directed towards the person you\u2019re speaking to. This shows that you\u2019re interested in what the speaker is saying.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 813px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/23clmCnCdVUmUqZljW0dbCS0kQGlQmPe8-ANZ_firbDxs16oO-WmNc-DObf00baoGktIbro3W-giyAYPztpDy5li4HpgXZ43drlPrFkhdBkjY_Gq0pNQQF1e84zn5h8LOQl48gb5\" alt=\"\" width=\"813\" height=\"316\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Picture credits: Bustle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ol start=\"12\">\n<li><strong> Push your legs outwards while seated<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re seated, make sure that your legs are stretched outwards. Outstretched legs show that you\u2019re open, not reserved and have no inhibitions with speaking. Whereas withdrawing your legs says that you\u2019re closed and don\u2019t want to indulge in further conversation.<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/ktQRgfh63uUfKi_eUDGUvbL1ko8ploEH3899jRBU5MVLb0N84JbMP0wKapuPgbfKIHkBLVz9yvmvIR54RZV9GHNnm7VtdGfYfe6u_7osfFJPaFC2n5JWRW8uwjBINPBLq6e_WBiB\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"13\">\n<li><strong> Nod your head often<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re hosting an interview or live video, you can encourage your audience to speak more by nodding your head. Nod three times slowly, when the speaker is making a point to show that you\u2019re on the same terms. Nodding too fast shows that you\u2019re impatient and want to skip the conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/3otPox55gVlXxQkPa8\/giphy.gif\" width=\"814\" height=\"304\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"14\">\n<li><strong> Don\u2019t use distracting body language<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re talking, make sure you\u2019re not toying with your hair, brushing dust off your clothes, touching your face or adjusting your cuffs. These signs show deceitful behaviour and people might think you\u2019re lying or hiding something.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/Pi5o2wYB2xYiY\/giphy.gif\" width=\"810\" height=\"394\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re already one step ahead of your game now that you know what most of your competitors don\u2019t &#8211; the hidden powers of body language.
