This is the secret to confidence... When you look more confident and you sound more confident, it tricks your brain into thinking - I AM CONFIDENT! #communicationskills #confidence
People should watch this video before a first date. Making small adjustments to posture, voice volume, and eye contact can immediately make someone feel more confident and appear more confident (and therefore more attractive).
Emphasis on eye contact! Maintaining eye contact with someone shows that you're not distracted and paying attention to whatever they're saying. This makes people feel heard and they get to connect with you instantly😀
To build confidence, 1st of all, step out of your comfort zone and approach people outside to minimize your fear which you call social anxiety. People are confident when they know about their topic clearly, so practice it daily. Confidence doesn't get you in market, You must practice it to gain it. Even most professional speakers practice before they deliver their speech in front of audience. So, go out and connect with others...
There is truth in this. Physiology shapes psychology. When you slow your pace, hold eye contact, and speak with intention, your nervous system begins to regulate and your brain follows. Confidence is not just a feeling. It is a behavior you practice until your identity catches up.
I agree Vinh. And sometimes it works the other way too. When my nervous system settles first, posture and eye contact change without trying. And confidence is there because I feel safe in my body.
Vinh isn't just telling you how to LOOK confident, he's showing you how to BE confident. In acting school, I was taught that our bodies can affect our emotions and voice, so many actors build the exterior of their character and explore what kind of emotions arise from that. So, if you want to be someone confident, start by fixing your posture.
This is the power trio! I am working on my volume But I learnt that an open posture seems inviting and approachable Eye contact is key to convey emotions Don't forget to shine that bright smile (I see that smile creeping in) 😁
The three horsemen of owning the room. Also, hand gestures. The best one I know, is stretch your hand before you are meeting somebody to avoid any awkward side hugs or fumps. Just do a firm handshake when you meet anybody in a professional setting.
Absolutely Vinh. We can adjust posture, eye contact, and volume from the outside in. But I’ve noticed that when the nervous system calms down, those behaviours naturally organize themselves.
Confidence isn’t just felt, it’s practiced. Acting confident rewires your brain to believe it’s true.
