A witness’s nerve can testify against them.
The nervous tremble of your hands, the tremor in your voice, the splotches of red on your neck and cheeks … most of us have been there when the nerves take over. Particularly when nerves kick in when you are in front of a judge or jury and need to speak publicly … testifying can be even more nerve-wracking. This white paper reviews how some body language can give a bad impression and how to cure some of those behaviors.
