Quotes

  • Caro Calvochas quoted5 years ago
    Whether you’re standing in front of one person, a room of eight people or an auditorium of 800, you own it to them (and to yourself) to be fully conscious.
  • Caro Calvochas quoted5 years ago
    you talk about a problem with a left-hand gesture when you have just indicated the future with the same hand, though of course the specifics of what you anchor, where, are entirely up to you.
  • Caro Calvochas quoted5 years ago
    You will make people rather uncomfortable if you retain your natural timeline and talk about the future with a gesture to your right (which will be their left). I am so used to this now that I’ve essentially reversed my own timeline, and instinctively indicate to the right when I talk about past and the left when I talk about future.
