自信修炼术-注意你的肢体语言

 How to be confident. 自信修炼术

Watch your body language.

注意你的肢体语言。

Your posture¹ and overall appearance affect both your mental state and how others perceive (and thus respond) to you.

 

If you want to be a leader, you have to dress and act the part.

 

Stand and sit up straight, make eye contact, and remember to smile. Wear the professional clothing of your industry.

 

Eliminate the telltale signs of nervousness: excessive twitching², closed-off posturing³ (crossed arms and legs, hunched⁴ shoulders)， and shallow breathing。
