If you're someone who's interrupted a lot, not taken seriously, people forget meeting you, you need to dial up competence. There is a very good competent hand gesture which everyone should know if you want to be perceived as higher incompetence. It's called the steeple. Oh, this, this. Oh, yes. It's on the cover of my book if you want to see it. It's a power pose for the hands. Why?
If you are doing this pose, you're showing I'm not hiding anything from you. You can still see my palms, but I am very relaxed and poised enough so that I'm keeping my hands together. Now, be careful. Don't drum. This is evil fingers. Yeah. This is Mr. Burns for those of you who know, right? So, it's a nice still steeple.
Uh, they have found they rated hand gestures in a study and they found that this was the highest rated hand gesture that leaders made is when they made this gesture. So, you can try the steeple. Just be careful not to do evil fingers with it. That's a high competence.
