Fake it until you make it.
We’ve all been told that.
But how do you fake confidence?
“There are many techniques
for building a body presence
that is confident.
Here are a few tips:
First, don’t fidget, rock
or display distracting habits.
Second, use gestures
that are natural and purposeful
which reflect the power of your words.
And third,
keep your posture open
and your arm movements
within the power sphere,
the imaginary circle that runs
from the top of your eyes out
to the tips of your outstretched arms,
to your navel and back up to the eyes.
If your gestures stay
within the power sphere
you will appear confident
and energetic.”
Even if you aren’t confident,
look like you are.
