inauthenticity wafting off of you like a bonfire. Faking
confidence won’t mask that.
So how do you project confidence when you’re shaking in your
shoes?
Researchers at Ohio State found that good posture gave
people more confidence in their thoughts and rated
themselves more positively versus when they were slumped
over.
“People assume their confidence is coming from their own
thoughts,” said Richard Petty, co-author of the study and
professor of psychology at Ohio State. “They don’t realize their
posture is affecting how much they believe in what they’re
thinking.”
In other words, you can’t think yourself better … but it is
possible to use confident body language to trick your brain
into believing you really ARE better. A quick and simple
solution to this is something called Power Body Language.
