THREE things you can do to instantly look more confident!

Post by Hazriq Idrus - Public Speaking & Creativity Trainer/ Coach.

1) Speak slowly
Generally, if people are nervous, they tend to speak very fast. Too fast like the MRT! And often, audience cant get your message. To overcome this, take a deep breath and speak slowly and comfortably.

2) Sincerely Smile!
Do you know that smile can change a behaviour? Let say someone is angry with you, just give that person a sincere smile, that person may not be that angry anymore - well at least won't be as bad as initially. If you smile, people will associate you with a friendly and confident person (even if you know you are shivering inside!). Other people wont get angry easily with confident people.

3) Say Goodbye to Slouching.
Don't slouch! Stand tall, chin up and make sure both your feet must be waist-width apart.


Yours creatively,
