    5) Avoid holding your hands in front of you or rubbing them

    This forms a protective barrier which separates you from the audience. It is also another way of saying: "I am telling you a lie and I am too scared."

    6) Use a pointer to keep one of your hands busy

    Use it to help the audience focus on specific points on your visual aid

    7) Avoid pointing with one finger at the audience

    Politicians often do this when delivering aggressive speeches, or giving out warnings. Avoid this is a wise choice, because it can make the audience feel threatened or even offended
