Karol Nawrocki recently he made two important appearances. On January 15, the presidential candidate appeared at a press conference, and a day later, on January 16, he delivered a speech at a meeting with the diplomatic corps. Author of the book “The Speaker's Body Language” Maurycy Seweryn he graded both speeches for us. One of them was too much for Nawrocki.
Karol Nawrocki at a press conference. Stress ruined everything
The body language expert noticed from the very beginning that Nawrocki was not entirely he knowshow to find your way at a conference. – Before it was announced, he was talking to people around him as if he didn't care. People see it, the coach emphasized. Things didn't get any better when Nawrocki entered the stage. – First of all, he spoke very chaotically, which is because he was not prepared. He was going crazy. Secondly, it was visible in his non-verbal behavior in the form of using his voice. He needed to breathe more often as his adrenaline and stress levels increased, and you could hear him gasping for air in the microphones. This is a stress signal. Such signals reduce the speaker's credibility, he explained.
Later he focused a little more on non-verbal messages. – Slightly nervous facial expression. A faint smile. Slightly raised, surprised eyebrows. Arms in the inward version, i.e. in a closed position. A gesture of helplessness. This is placing your hands at chest level. In turn, he joined his hands in a gesture of “indecision”. It is a gesture of connecting baskets with bent fingers. This gesture was so unusual for Mr. Nawrocki and unrehearsed that when he spoke, when he wanted to gesture, he switched from pressing on one finger to pressing on the other. It was such a funny gesture that was done high up so it was visible. Another element indicating stress was a large number of fillers. The upside was that the conference took place during the day, so the lighting was favorable. Fair complexion, honesty, openness, communication skills. On the other hand, a crowd of people, showing that “you belong to the people”, but they were only a background – notes Maurycy Seweryn.
Karol Nawrocki did better in his speech before the diplomatic corps
The expert noted that Nawrocki's speech on January 16 went much better. – This is because it was clearly practiced. A lot of time was spent. They probably could have been coaches prime minister Awl or President Duda, because I see a similar style. This is visible in fluent gesticulation, in striving to use the so-called business gesture (vertical position of hands with thumbs up), a typically American, strong gesture. Better speech than Trzaskowski during the start of the election campaign – he noted. The expert also stated that the image of Nawrocki shown on social media (dynamic, laid-back) does not match what people see at conferences. – It needs to be either balanced or adjusted to what is expected from the presidential candidate – he concluded.
