The Power of Dropping a Gesture
There is enormous power in dropping a gesture and going back to the Park position. When you are in the Park position and begin to make a gesture, the slower the raising of the gesture, the better. However, when you drop your gesture to go back to the Park position, gravity drops your arms like a rock. You never move your arm down slowly with control. You let gravity drop your hand and arm naturally. Quite often, your arm will slightly sway because you should have no tension in your upper body.
When you drop your arm and hand, and they sway because there is no tension, this shows the audience you are comfortable speaking. Please understand that world-class speeches are about how you raise the gesture and how you release the arms back to the park position.
Remember! Park, Drive, and then Park again. Then repeat!
Nobody on planet Earth understands how incredibly effective dropping the gesture back to a tension-free arm is to an audience, but me, and now you.
