Describe the three steps in the general rhythm of a gesture.
What will be an ideal response?
- The anticipation step takes place when you bring your hands to a position from which a gesture can easily be made. If you are gripping the podium or have your hands in your pockets, it will be more difficult to make a natural gesture.
- The implementation step involves the few seconds when the gesture takes place. Speakers should be aware of making a complete gesture and not awkwardly raise a hand partway without completing the motion. This suggests that the speaker is nervous.
- The relaxation step occurs when you return your hands to the normal position-either at your side or resting lightly on the podium.
