 For a long time, we’ve misunderstood the importance of gesture in our lives and communications.

 Researchers thought that the gestures that accompany speech were meaningless; now we know that they are meaningful and that they precede speech by a nanosecond or two.

 Researchers have studied how children learn, for example, and have determined that they learn nonverbally first.

 The first step in mastering your communications and leading the people around you is to determine what your own posture, personal presence, and gestures are like.

 Keep a diary or take video of yourself to determine—as objectively as possible—how you’re appearing to others.

 Your self-assessment of your own confidence, intuition, and charisma will help get you started on the road to mastering leadership communication.
