One of Jordan Belfort’s best qualities was being able to motivate his brokers into being the best that they could be. In a series of powerful and rambunctious presentations, he would rile up his young brokers through words of confidence and body language that had everyone enamored. His body language was performed through a series of ridiculous actions such as banging a microphone against his head, dancing with fellow coworkers, and jumping up and down with joy.
