Walk tall and look confident

I have just finished reading Two Brothers by Ben Elton. What a book, an amazing read, I couldn't put it down.

Without giving any of the plot away there are various times in the book where characters have to pretend to be someone they are not and they always tried to carry themselves in as confident a way as possible to try to ensure others believe them.

Now these scenarios were life and death so therefore the characters were under severe pressure to ensure they looked and sounded confident.   

How does this apply to real life?

Believe it or not, according to Scientific Research, merely the process of going through the process of thinking about confidence and making a conscious effort to appear confident can actually improve someone's confidence.

Now, like all the ways to help build confidence, it is not a quick fix or a panacea. However, it is a useful tool to have to hand especially in those stressful situation we encounter like job interviews or presentations.

Cheers
