How to communicate confidently

DR. GOPIKA KUMAR

Do you possess the need and desire to communicate with the world brilliantly? How should you communicate with the outer world so that your confidence, aura, and self-image are projected confidently in one word — super confidently?

How do we achieve that? How do we enable this? I’ll start with a straightforward key concept. This was identified by a researcher named Albert Mirabilis. His key concept reveals that almost 55% of our communication with the outside world makes an impact through body language.

Imagine, out of 100%, 55% of the impact we want to make is through our body language. How difficult could it be to learn? We’ll delve deeper into this soon. According to this law, 38% of the impact in communication with the world can be achieved through your voice, tonalities, and voice modulations.

Seems like a manageable skill set, doesn’t it? Surprisingly, only 7% of the impact you make is conveyed through the words you speak. Is that true? Yes. Now, let’s celebrate in this video how we can do it instantaneously. I’ll focus on the 55% taken up by body language.

Let’s discuss five clear ideas and ways through which you can display your confidence and project your supreme state of confidence. Let’s start right away. What is the first thing you can do in your body language to project confidence? The first thing is to keep your spine straight. If at any point you have a hunchback or you’re constantly looking down, especially when checking your mobile phone, your body language might convey a slight hunch or a constant downward head movement. To ensure you’re sending the right message to the outside world, simply look up with your spine straight and make a conscious effort.

I know it may be challenging to maintain this position for an extended period, but when conversing with your listeners, participants, or anyone you want to project the right image to, keep your spine straight. Let’s move on to the second most fundamental thing to change in your body language. Concentrate on the lines on your forehead. You might not see your own lines, but squishing your forehead can convey various meanings — questions about credibility, uncertainty, or being lost in your own world.

To exhibit supreme confidence, be watchful of how you use your forehead expressions. Consciously clear them from time to time to ensure you’re projecting confidence. Now, let’s discuss the magic mantra — the third key area. We’ve all heard about smiling. Yes, I suggest the same, but not a Facebook or Instagram smile. Carry a smile that you can genuinely redeem.

Avoid posing for a picture smile that you can only maintain for a second. Let your smile reach through your eyes. Emotions conveyed through your eyes have the magical power to break the invisible wall between yourself and your listeners. Start doing that right away, and it can change your stance and confidence.

Now, onto the fourth clear area — shoulder strength. I call this the razor blade shoulders. They shouldn’t be drooped like a flip; they should be razor-blade sharp. Pull your shoulders back every time you speak to your listeners, making them razor-blade sharp. This change in posture will make people curious about what you do to exhibit that confident state. Simply pulling your shoulders back, avoiding a drooped position, can cut through and signal your readiness.

Finally, the fifth and most important key area in your body language that you can change instantly is to keep your hands open. Express yourself to the outside world not just through words. Remember, it’s only 7% through words, and 38% through voice. The remaining 55% is through body language — especially your hands.

Use open hands with actions and gestures when communicating. Remember these five rules and mantras when communicating with the outside world. Apply them, and you’ll witness the magic unfold.
