"When really charismatic leaders use hand gestures, the brain is super happy," Edwards recently told the Washington Post. "Because it's getting two explanations in one, and the brain loves that."

So while talking with your hands is a good thing, it's also important that they're saying the right thing. Here are 11 rules of thumb to follow when using your hands during a presentation:
