Acquiring confidence is a lifelong activity.
But how do you ensure that you walk into any room – meeting, interview,
conference or even a party – and completely own it.
Here are 6 things I do
- I never open a door to any unnerving room without taking a second to square my
shoulders, tuck my tummy in, stand tall, take a deep breath and put a smile on
my face. I have practiced Body Language enough for my body to not collapse into
a nervous form even if I’m dying of nervousness. - I ensure I am well put together. It’s non negotiable. I just love the effect on
myself and others when I walk into a room looking my spiffiest best. - I use my voice impactfully and powerfully. I know the right volume, the right
tone, the exact emphasis and the most effective pauses that I must use. - I tell myself that I will accomplish whatever I came to do. Mindset is everything. If
you think you can’t do something, chances are you won’t! - I rely on my carefully put together and ongoing activity of gathering knowledge. I
will be able to speak intelligently about most things and if I can’t, my genuine
curiosity to know about it will see me through. - I constantly challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone. Tough and tall
ask/conversation in the room? Never mind. Let’s try and see the best that I can
do.
