The way you present yourself in trying times portrays a lot about how you will handle circumstances in life. We have a few quick tips that will help you radiate confidence. Become a person full of confidence, not only in life, but the job hunt and workplace.
Learn a New Language… Learn Body Language.
Your body language is the first thing another person notices about you. Your demeanor is key to communicating your confidence, and self-assuredness in what you verbally communicate.
Take a stand.
Stand up straight and uncross your arms. This makes you approachable and immediately positions you in a stance of a leader.
Make eye contact.
Eye contact is absolutely necessary for making a lasting impression. Eye contact welcomes one into the conversation, showing them that you are a person of character, honesty, and transparency, and that you are not trying to hide anything. Eye contact not only works wonders in the workplace, but also in your personal date life. Eye contact is the key to connection.
Speak up.
Talk clearly and loud enough for listeners so that they can hear what you are saying comfortably. After all, your opinion matters. Don’t forget that you are an important person and what you need to say is valuable.
Get on a Mission.
Take time to write a mission statement for your life. Think about what you want your purpose to be in life. If you could contribute one thing to the world, what would it be? Your goals and priorities should all align with achieving your mission statement. Having a vision for your goals in life will help you navigate through the hard times of disappointment, closed doors, and even rejection. Just remember, a closed door doesn’t mean that the right door isn’t open just around the corner.
Pick Your Team.
Remaining confident in hard times and in failures is much easier to do when you surround yourself with people who are optimistic and genuinely support your vision. Be picky about the friends you let speak into your life. Find people who are optimistic and will encourage you when your feel discouraged. You are who you hang out with- so be wise when you are choosing your friends and mentors. Your “team” will help keep your head up in hard times, and will also provide encouragement to boost and maintain your confidence.
