People who don't make eye contact:
- Look timid
- Look Shady
- Look uncomfortable
Don't be that person.
Avoid staring people down but be comfortable holding eye contact while talking.
2. Quit Fidgeting
Fidgeting is a subconscious cope to make yourself feel better during uncomfortable time.
Biting nails.
Jittering legs.
These are signals you're anxious.
When you catch yourself doing this, take a breath, relax and stop fidgeting.
3. Smile
As humans, we're hardwired to return smiles.
Don't smile like a creepy serial killer.
But when you enter the room, have a happy and relaxed demeanor.
This will put others at ease and increase liability.
4. Stand up straight
Most people have underdeveloped rear shoulders.
Because of this, they slouch.
Slouching = Low-value body language
Make it a conscious habit to roll your shoulders back.
5. Fix your voice
How you say something matters ten times more than what you say.
When speaking:
- Don't mumble
- Don't speak fast
- Don't be afraid to pause
- Don't talk from your nose
- Don't say 'like' or 'um' too much
You'll sound much more confident.
