Next time you want someone to pay closer attention to what you’re saying—for instance, during a job interview, while giving instructions or as you give a speech— keep one palm turned up as you talk. “This is a universal gesture that draws people in, making them more interested in what you’re saying,” explains David B. Givens, Ph.D., director of the Center for Nonverbal Studies in Spokane, Washington.
Tip: Make a bigger impression by keeping those hands moving! “Using no hand gestures at all sends the message that you lack conviction and aren’t friendly,” says Givens.

I assume this isn’t a “talk to the hand” gesture, right?
Thanks for the tip, will definitely try this out!
LOL! Hadn’t thought of that! You know, ever since I interviewed David about this, I see this technique being used all the time by politicians. I personally use it to keep my husband from drifting off in the middle of giving him my honey-do list : )
