Practice Proper Posture: Standing or sitting straight with your shoulders back and your head held up, nonverbally reflects your confidence. It doesn't matter how tall you are, when your posture is straight and aligned, instead of shoulders slumped and head down, you will appear in control and confident.

Read More »Address Hand Gestures: What you do with your hands is very important in your nonverbal communication. Studies show that the position, movement, and relaxation of the hands can make or break your perceived confidence. You should avoid pointing which may seem aggressive, putting hands in your pockets which communicates that you are uninterested or nervous, placing your hands on your hips which can make you appear impatient, or crossing your arms which can communicate that you are closed off. Instead, consider listening with crossed hands or loosely linked fingers in your lap. When explaining or speaking, a good technique is to imagine lightly holding a beach ball in front of the low to mid-chest and move your hands or arms out in curved movements from that base position. To make a more emphatic point, imagine holding a box followed by straighter fingers and more direct hand and arm movements. Facial Expressions Matter: An awareness of your normal “resting face” and facial expressions when concentrating or listening can affect how others perceive you and affect your perceived confidence. Take a look in the mirror, or ask others who know you well for feedback to see if you normally frown, smile or have other severe facial expressions. People might feel intimidated and avoid you if you look stern, which can be a barrier to your perceived confidence. To positively connect with others, relax your facial expressions, and practice smiling more until it becomes a normal part of your body language repertoire. A smile that hits the eyes is considered more genuine than a simple smile that involves only the mouth. Slow Down and Stop Fidgeting: According to Arlin Cuncic of Very Well Mind, consciously slowing down your movements, especially if you struggle with fidgeting, is helpful. Unnecessary movements like repeatedly tapping your foot, twirling your hair, or playing with your pencil, portrays nervousness or anxiety and makes you appear underconfident. Also avoid talking with your hands and fingers anywhere near your face, as it is distracting to your audience and communicates nothing. Hand movements automatically echo and often illustrate the spoken word. Consequently, actors and speakers are taught to use fewer specific gestures that enhance and amplify the spoken message.

Read More »Pay Attention to Personal Space: Leaning slightly forward towards the person or people with whom you are speaking, especially in a business environment displays that you are engaged and interested. Maintaining a distance of two to three feet apart is appropriate for a business situation which in Western cultures is about the distance of a comfortable handshake. Other cultures might show discomfort with the proximity, and you will need to adjust to respect their personal space. If you are presenting to a group, it’s important to “own” your personal space and take up more room. You do this initially by standing still with feet hip-width apart; weight evenly distributed. It is also natural to ease the weight onto one straight leg then slowly transfer to the other. Immediate audience connection is also critical. Rather than flicking your eyes rapidly around the room, your eye contact should be friendly and steady on one individual at a time as your gaze turns to all sections of the audience. Avoid tipping your head or body to the side or rocking forward and back, but keep an upright posture with head, neck, and shoulders relaxed. The wider and more controlled yet relaxed your hand movements, the more confident you appear. Perfect your nonverbal communication and improve your body language for a more confident you.
