Jamila, I am an 8th grade student and my classmates look up to me as a good public speaker. I regularly watch your videos and learn a lot from them. Thank you very much!

[@terrig7006]

Good for you! I hope you continue leading the way with grace and confidence! I, too, love public speaking, but didn't learn that skill until I was in my mid-20's. Before that, any presentation I had to do at school scared me to death! It's good to become skilled at this at a young age, it will help you in so many ways as you grow up. Best to you. 😊

[@yashirajepateriya4201]

You are indian even im in 12th and want to become a. Good public speaker at school

[@emmar3035]

Impressive! Some people don’t think adherence to proper etiquette is important. However, it shows confidence and self care. And others notice! Good for you!

[@SolvitaLux]

I think an important point is that it is extremely rude to wave hands around in fast motions, as well as point with a single finger. If you are ever complimenting someone's skirt, for example, you should never point at it with one finger whilst exclaiming adoration. But with a single, gentle hand motion, palm up, directing toward's the person's clothes is a much more elegant way to attract attention to something specific.

[@stylinson.9839]

I agree 👏.

[@aditya_offi_cial]

Absolutely right.

[@ayazukai2401]

Thank you so much ! I usually wave my hands around in fast motion , now I know not to

[@alienlovescoffee9631]

that's right, but why do this happens? is it certain a reason why?

[@Zombina638]

Eh, I disagree

[@shagnn]

her voice is so soothing omfg I'm addicted to it

[@Pakistanimulhida-yu5mo]

Do u think it’s her real voice? I think they edit it🫢

[@kornelijak9107]

She has indeed a beautiful voice. The soothing part comes from the way we speak and it can be learned like, for example singing. Slow and clear is easy to listen to. Try to listen to someone talking fast (and sometimes loudly). Personally, it stresses me out and it makes difficult to follow them.

[@Julia29853]

Your abbreviation is disrespectful and not elegant! Especially for religious people

[@ZoeZebra10594]

​@@Julia29853 agree

[@Dasyuhan]

​@@Julia29853whats wrong with it

[@BeyondClaire]

This is going to be an odd comment, but I have noticed when I take care of my hands and have a beautiful manicure, my hand jesters are more feminine.

[@gillianmaxted1856]

I find the same, must be psychological

[@mariajosevarelamiranda6618]

Is because you’re more proud of them and therefore feel more comfortable and connected to your beauty, in my opinion, elegance is confidence in one’s beauty and worth

[@Lanatunyc]

Same to me

[@ananyaanil1691]

Hello Jamila! I would suggest you to keep the flowers behind you as the bright contrast creates a distraction and it takes focus from you. Great video!!

[@taibaimran8857]

Jamila it would be really helpful if you could do a fast food etiquette for things such as pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and chicken wins since they are not eaten in formal environments. Thank you in advance!

[@aaqilashaini5373]

I saw a lot of positive comments, and some very rude comments, but the best one was from an 8th Grader, thanking Jamila who showed genuine appreciation. Great video, btw! ❤

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you ❤️

[@PhilosophyWithLilly]

Oh my goodness! I was just searching “elegant hand gestures” the other day. Very timely! Thank you

[@anye76]

As I'm watching this, I'm being reminded fondly of ballet classes from my childhood. I think that's where I learned how to hold my hands and gesture. Very grateful for this video, thank you 🌷

[@rahmakareem4888]

def agree with u , I use alot of gesturing when im speaking to clients. It really gives sense of security to the client cuz it gives confidante and in charge vibe, therefore they will trust you more.

[@PassionPno]

This really depends on which culture you’re from. Gesturing a lot is seen as unrefined and lowly educated in my culture.

[@durgaharidas5204]

​@@PassionPnoWhere are you from? Just curious.

[@Mary-pg1rf]

Your videos never disappoint me, Jamila 🎉 Although hand gestures are important when we are delivering a speech, I think it's essential to control the amount of gestures we do and try to have delicate movements as possible, otherwise we can make the other person feel nervous or distracted by our hands. It happens to me a lot, maybe because I'm a highly sensitive person, that some people who are very frenetic and exagerated with their body language makes me feel a little bit of anxious.

[@fearlessali2852]

Most of the people don't follow ettiquettes and manners at all.They are even mannerless and rude without even knowing and realising about it. That's really awkward, anxious and disturbing for well behaved and we'll mannered people who are highly sensitive.😊

[@sheleania]

Can I just say how you look like a hand model off the rip! You look like a model overall honestly ❤

[@biblicallyaccuratecockroach]

Many times, I believe, the problem is that people overthink and obsess about details, when if they just ignored it and let their hands just be, they'd most often be fine. It's an art, not a science, every one has their way of communicating, some are more reserved, others are more expressive, what's important is that we understand each other. In my martial arts class there's a student I often train with that's a bit of a perfectionist, and obsesses about the tiniest little wrong thing, and the more she stresses about it the worse the whole sequence becomes. That's the point when I say a stupid joke to make her laugh and relax, and have her do her next attempt while she's still talking, and often it goes better because she's not as tense and just lets it happen. We've been practicing for long enough that her body knows what to do, it's her head that gets in the way. If you think you're doing something wrong, sometimes the answer is to think less, and just do. Let things happen. Find your flow and learn to go with it. I promise you're not as inept as you think. "Oh, but what if I embarrass myself?" It's never going to go as bad as you think. And if you never fail, you'll never succeed; it's called practice. You weren't born knowing how to walk, were you? I don't know when this rant became a pep-talk but here we are. You'll do fine. Think less, and just do.

[@Productivity-st8sm]

I thought that my parents were particularly concerned regarding etiquette but then I look at her and realize how lucky I am

[@feelgood5332]

Thank you very much for the hand dangle explanation, which is very elegant and not used by many women these days... unfortunatly ! Let's use it more and become very elegant women, with the rest of your sugggestions of course !!

[@ntokozojiyane3415]

I actually never ever thought about the importance of hand gestures ever. Great video, now am wondering what i have been doing with my hands all thia while. Thank you so much. Lots of love 😍

[@user-yk9sk7pg6v]

i love the hand dangle gesture! - i was just watching an interview with actress monica bellucci and found something particularly captivating yet couldn't quite place it - as soon as you said 'hand dangle' and then showed the gesture it immediately connected! - she was doing this gesture quite a bit in the interview - i mean, she is obviously beautiful in numerous ways, but i do agree with you that 'hand dangling' is just immensely lovely - thank you, Jamila! interview: 'Malena - Monica Bellucci, Giuseppe Tornatore - Interviews' channel: la Bella Bellucci

[@Sumerugeniusenjoyer]

I unfortunately have rough hands due to some household chores (I handwash some of my clothes with sensitive fabric and keeps the sink clean, hence always involve in wetting my hands and use soap chemicals) but I always bring a handcream with me formulated with niacinamide. I also use lotion with collagen on my hand in hopes they'll restore to what they were before.

[@noname.1890]

Why don’t you wear gloves to protect your hands?

[@Sumerugeniusenjoyer]

@noname. I unfortunately don't have one. I'm more used to cleaning with just bare hands, but I'll try buying. And practice to getting used to it while cleaning.

[@chrissiec2123]

I liked the finger touch and wrist dangle tips the best because I've never heard of them being used as hand gestures. This was a great video, Jamila! Thank you very much!

[@elainemarley5014]

you are amazing ! tank you for making me more feminine, i really needed your videos in my life.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

I'm so glad!

[@ACherree]

Oh my... I have OCD and I wash my hands with soap multiple times/day and I only moisturize my skin twice a day: in the morning and in the evening after taking a shower. Yes, my hands are dry, dehydrated, and flakey 😞

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

I wash my hands a lot, too (related to caring for children, pets and plants). I wouldn't know where you live, but here in the US, a hand cream called "Working Hands" by O'Keefe was a lifesaver for me. You only need a small amount and it is quickly absorbed (so you don't leave greasy handprints everywhere). Haven't found anything better; it makes such a difference. The first time, I found it in the home improvement section! 😄 Neutrogena makes a good one, too (supposedly developed for Norwegian fishermen); but maybe only in Europe. The formula seems to be different and less effective here.

[@PhilosophyWithLilly]

I also wash my hands too much!

[@ACherree]

@@thekingsdaughter4233 aww, ok. Thank you so much for your suggestions. I currently live in Indonesia. It's not about the formula, but it's about my lazy self, cos whenever I apply the moisturizer I need much more water and soap to sanitize my hands properly. Thus, I only moisturize my skin twice a day, in the morning after I wake up and in the evening before sleeping. I also have a toddler and unfortunately I'm currently a single mother. I need to find my way to achieve that feminine energy, so I can take care of myself properly. God bless you ❤

[@Arshikaanwar]

Hahaha this is a big pblm. I also make sure my hands are clear

[@KhushbooSharma-hb9zw]

I have ocd too and i wash my hands often too, and because of soap i have itchy pimple like buildups😭

[@maily3243]

I'm a female but my hands (& feet) are big width & length😂🤣) & not feminine to begin with so I always try to hide them. Doing these gestures would emphasize this even more. Especially when I am presenting something, it always draws attention to my hands & people look, so I try but not easy to hide. I think I will try moving more subtley &slowly.

[@sumanamukherjee9668]

Thank you babil, for being yourself. All my life I have struggled to fit in, I am same age as yours and I completely get the feeling when you say ' you know how I am' . I always felt so different and sometimes I tried to buckle up and be very much of today's time but then I couldn't be that for very long and struggled internally, it's beautiful to see someone who is very much fine being himself

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thanks for sharing!

[@LUVN4GIV]

Thank you so much for the great video! I shared your site with my three kids who are in their twenties and entering or new to the workforce and dating. I hope they will watch! (Especially your manners while eating video. Great information for anyone! ) Elegance, poise, and putting others at ease are always important. 💐 I especially love the hand exercises. I think for work talks, speaking events, or even just making points during a conversation, a warmup can boost confidence and help you make your point! I also love that you considered other countries and hand gestures that could offend. I always read an etiquette book before traveling to a new country, and I am always surprised by some of the basics! If you have a friend online from afar, I also recommend asking if they could please let you know if you ever say something unintentionally rude in your conversations or exchanges. It lets them know you care and checking in once in a while is a great idea too. I'm unsure if you have done any videos on online etiquette, but these days, it would be helpful and welcomed! Thank you again! ❤

woww, it is so amazing to learn this. I have never paid much attention to hand gestures ever, feels great to learn something new like this. You are so elegant, how you talk and express things so beautifully, i really find you full of grace and elegance.

[@Luisa-cs2pd]

Thank you Jamila for your awesome and helpful tips! This is more important than we realize and you are helping us understand this. I would very like if you could do a video with several different scenarios, so we can see hand gestures according to different situations - perhaps 1-2 min video of ie. when eating dinner, with a date, and another with friends. Also other videos with other scenarios ie in an interview, in a breakfast/lunch with boss and colleagues. Also a video when sitting in a meeting with colleagues (how to sit and hand gestures when talking but also when listening to colleagues. Also a video when being in an important meeting with clients. All of these is sitting down. Thank you again for what you share! 🌹

Dear madam, Your videos are very helpful and educational. I really enjoy them and sometimes I go back to your older videos when I am in need of some structure and calmness - your kind, soothing style always makes me feel more poised. Madam, would you consider making videos or shorts about how to elegantly deal with rude colleagues/bad bosses/bad situations at the workplace? I sometimes lose my calm when I feel attacked at the workplace and sometimes I become too passive in such situations. Neither are good responses to such situations, and in my line of work, there are a lot of such situations. I would love to know how you would deal with such things. Yours, A

I like the hand dangle! Does anyone know the difference between the gesture with the fingers tips touching, showing trustworthiness and openness, vs the hand steepling that is a power move and is considered to be rude if done by a subordinate?

Thank you ,I have social anxiety cause I’m 5’9! And big hands not petite but not like huge either. So feline hand gestures are crucial for me. I feel so aggressive at times I don’t even like my hands . When I do manicure them I love my hands but I do have hand insecurities. I overcome them with weight loss . Right now I’m a little overweight.

Thank you for the video. I enjoy all your videos ^_^. I think some women are naturally graceful. However, it is possible to practice being graceful.
