The Confident Speaker Podcast #4: How to Project Confidence Online

In this episode, I share 5 ways to project confidence online ... even if you don't feel it.

What You'll Hear:

​

Confident people are seen as:

• Persuasive

• Influential

• Inspiring

These are the same kind of people that:

• Land the job

• Close the deal

• Make connections

• Gain respect

• Earn trust

Even if you feel like you don't have any of these qualities, you can learn them through practice and awareness

1. Pleasant resting face

• This communicates positivity and charisma

2. Take up all of your space

• To appear more powerful, sit up straight with your chest forward  

3. Give and receive eye contact

• This is a key non-verbal cue that communicates confidence and assertiveness

4. Project your voice

• Talk a little louder and slower than you're used to; breathe deep from your diaphragm​

5. Get comfortable

• Eliminate things that make you physically uncomfortable (sun in your eyes, restrictive clothing, sitting in an uncomfortable chair, etc.)

BONUS tips!

• Speak up
  

  • People who share their ideas are perceived as more confident and charismatic than those who don't
