Problem
In the lecture, we focused on developing the most powerful and effective presentation. It is important to bring all of the skills learned throughout the course to prepare a verbally powerful presentation that uses non-verbal's to support the presentation and build the connection with the audience. Watch the Tedx Talks YouTube video "You Are Contagious" by Vanessa Van Edwards.
As you listen, practice the skills of a good listener, and interact with what Van Edwards asks of you. When she encourages you to try what she is describing, do so:
After listening to the 18 minute, 16-second speech, in your initial post, address the following:
1) Discuss how the interactive piece (assessing how you felt about her hidden hands, facial feedback hypothesis) helped you as a listener engage in what she was saying.
2) Consider Van Edwards' research on the use of hand movements and facial expressions, and her carefully planned use of hand movements and facial expressions. Give examples of how you can apply these techniques as you prepare for your speech.
