Dear reader, ever had to deal with a stressful situation like a sudden job interview or presentation?

Or nervous about meeting new people? Well, you would want to have that charismatic confidence to navigate these situations.

Posture

Want to know how to appear more confident? It's all in your posture.

Adjust your posture to look more assertive. Straighten your back, pull your shoulders away from your ears, and uncross your arms and legs.

Voice

Adjust your voice based on the situation and the impression you want to create.

To sound competent and trustworthy, adopt a lower-pitched voice and to sound warm, raise your pitch.

Controlled Breathing

Reduce stress with easy natural breaths.

Take a deep breath, expanding your belly. Pause. Exhale slowly to the count of five. Repeat four times.

Believe in yourself

Look back to all the things you have achieved and look at the endless possibilities ahead of you.

Make a commitment that you will believe in your abilities and your judgments.
