    I for sure learned a lot in just 15 minutes. the course talks about three hand gestures and when are we supposed to use each of them, and how thier effect on the people you are talking to, or infront of.

    As you hear what this is about, the hand shake or the palm is something people do in their all of the time. This one helps you to understand what are those are and keeps your body language in check.

    Overall good course. I took some useful notes. It’s short but a great starting point for learning body language. The content was clear and easy to understand, making it simple to apply in real life.

    I want to thank the lecturer for the simplified explanation. It was a really nice and useful lecture, and God willing, you will get practical training in the lecture.

    Very interesting. Makes me want to study this deeper. The awareness of the hands will take some concentration to get it. After rewatching the presentation I saw him using the palm up.

    I enjoyed watching and learning the power of body language in humans and in different situations it could be seen.
