of time. Don’t hold a gaze too long.

Calm your nervous system, & amplify
your voice; take a broad stance.

openness. Palms facing down
express conviction.

Get people’s attention; move
when changing topics. Pause
during key ideas.
A blur of blinks, taps, jiggles, pivots and shifts ... the body language of a man
wishing urgently to be elsewhere.
