Tips to convey confidence to your audience

Confidence is the key to powerful and effective public speaking and getting publicity.

Power lies with the person who appears confident and in control. How you carry yourself, enter a room, walk, sit, or shake hands contributes to the impression of confidence. Whether stepping on stage or entering a room for a meeting, conference or interview, make your entrance a strong one. Stand tall, shoulders back and head high, and walk with a good steady stride.

To convey confidence and authority with your stance:

Stand tall and act with confidence, whether you feel it or not.

Place feet directly under hips, one foot slightly in front of the other.

Balance your weight on balls of both feet.

Hold your shoulders back and chest high.

Enter a room with a stride that indicates confidence.

Move about easily, but refrain from excessive roaming.

When sitting, sit tall and lean forward, with arms resting on the table rather than in the lap.

Avoid slouching in the chair.
