My dad came up to me and said, "Son, it's okay if you flunked your exams. You already got arrested."
[00:00:05:00 - 00:00:08:00]
One of the most important things that you need to realize is that when you get nervous, you try to cover your vital organs.
[00:00:08:00 - 00:00:16:00]
That’s why you’ll see a lot of speakers sometimes fold their hands or bring their hands in front of them. That's a sign of nervousness.
[00:00:16:00 - 00:00:21:00]
Great speakers keep their body open, so there is no barrier between you and the audience.
[00:00:21:00 - 00:00:28:00]
Raise your hand if you have a mother. Let me see.
[00:00:28:00 - 00:00:32:00]
Put them all together—you get "Mama."
[00:00:32:00 - 00:00:38:00]
And something that, when you're starting out, you gotta be very conscious about, is keeping your body open.
[00:00:38:00 - 00:00:46:00]
Here's tip number two: have your palms open. Do this exercise with me. Take a look at your palms. Turn them around.
[00:00:46:00 - 00:00:54:00]
Look at the inside of your palms. Again, what side relaxes your eyes?
[00:00:54:00 - 00:01:02:00]
If you really concentrate when you look at the inside of your palms, your eyes relax.
[00:01:02:00 - 00:01:08:00]
A lot of great speakers open their palms toward the audience, showing more openness, and that allows the audience to connect with the speaker better.
[00:01:08:00 - 00:01:16:00]
As opposed to showing the back of your hand.
[00:01:16:00 - 00:01:23:00]
Ladies and gentlemen, today I’m a dreamer. I’m a speaker. And I’ve learned the unfailing quality of unconditional love from my wife.
[00:01:23:00 - 00:01:29:00]
Number three: get comfortable with the stage. When you're comfortable on the stage you're speaking on, your body is free to move about.
[00:01:29:00 - 00:01:36:00]
You can use body language. But if you're not comfortable with that stage and if you feel foreign on it, what happens is your body language starts to constrict.
[00:01:36:00 - 00:01:41:00]
You begin to cover your body up.
[00:01:41:00 - 00:01:45:00]
When a son sees a mother cry out of shame—that's a life-changing moment. She looked at me and said, "Son, I want you to be a better man."
[00:01:45:00 - 00:01:50:00]
Whatever you do, don’t touch the podium.
[00:01:50:00 - 00:01:56:00]
As soon as you do, you’re going to lean on it, shake it, and do all sorts of things on the podium.
[00:01:56:00 - 00:02:08:00]
So, what you do is keep a comfortable distance between you and the podium. You can keep your notes on it, but use your hands to gesture.
[00:02:08:00 - 00:02:15:00]
Don’t rest your hands on the podium. Keep a distance, and use your body language freely from a little distance away.

Mi papá se me acercó y me dijo: "Hijo, está bien si reprobaste tus exámenes. Ya te arrestaron."
[00:00:05:00 - 00:00:08:00]
Una de las cosas más importantes que debes darte cuenta es que cuando te pones nervioso, intentas proteger tus órganos vitales.
[00:00:08:00 - 00:00:16:00]
Por eso verás que muchos oradores a veces cruzan las manos o las colocan frente a ellos. Eso es una señal de nerviosismo.
[00:00:16:00 - 00:00:21:00]
Los grandes oradores mantienen su cuerpo abierto, para que no haya barreras entre ellos y el público.
[00:00:21:00 - 00:00:28:00]
Levanta la mano si tienes madre. Déjame ver.
[00:00:28:00 - 00:00:32:00]
Júntalas y obtienes "Mamá."
[00:00:32:00 - 00:00:38:00]
Y algo de lo que debes ser muy consciente cuando estás empezando, es mantener tu cuerpo abierto.
[00:00:38:00 - 00:00:46:00]
Aquí va el consejo número dos: ten las palmas abiertas. Haz este ejercicio conmigo. Mira tus palmas. Gíralas.
[00:00:46:00 - 00:00:54:00]
Mira el interior de tus palmas. De nuevo, ¿qué lado relaja tus ojos?
[00:00:54:00 - 00:01:02:00]
Si te concentras realmente en mirar el interior de tus palmas, tus ojos se relajan.
[00:01:02:00 - 00:01:08:00]
Muchos grandes oradores abren sus palmas hacia la audiencia, mostrando mayor apertura, y eso les permite conectar mejor con el público.
[00:01:08:00 - 00:01:16:00]
En lugar de mostrar la parte de atrás de la mano.
[00:01:16:00 - 00:01:23:00]
Damas y caballeros, hoy soy un soñador. Soy un orador. Y he aprendido la cualidad infalible del amor incondicional de mi esposa.
[00:01:23:00 - 00:01:29:00]
Número tres: ponte cómodo en el escenario. Cuando estás cómodo en el escenario donde hablas, tu cuerpo puede moverse libremente.
[00:01:29:00 - 00:01:36:00]
Puedes usar el lenguaje corporal. Pero si no estás cómodo con ese escenario y te sientes extraño en él, lo que pasa es que tu lenguaje corporal empieza a constriccionarse.
[00:01:36:00 - 00:01:41:00]
Comienzas a cubrirte.
[00:01:41:00 - 00:01:45:00]
Cuando un hijo ve a su madre llorar de vergüenza, ese es un momento que cambia vidas. Ella me miró y me dijo: "Hijo, quiero que seas un hombre mejor."
[00:01:45:00 - 00:01:50:00]
Hagas lo que hagas, no toques el podio.
[00:01:50:00 - 00:01:56:00]
En cuanto lo hagas, te apoyarás en él, lo moverás y harás todo tipo de cosas en el podio.
[00:01:56:00 - 00:02:08:00]
Lo que debes hacer es mantener una distancia cómoda entre tú y el podio. Puedes poner tus notas en él, pero usa tus manos para gesticular.
[00:02:08:00 - 00:02:15:00]
No apoyes las manos en el podio. Mantén una distancia y usa tu lenguaje corporal libremente desde un poco lejos.
