Make yourself appear anxiety-free!

You can appear relaxed and confident even when you really don’t feel at ease at all.

Just imitate yourself on a confident day. Here is how to do it:

• Anxious people look at one person or one side of the room. Speak to one or two people for a sentence or two and move on to another two for the next sentence or idea. Appear anxiety-free by practicing this technique at every meeting you attend.
• Articulate all sounds in all words, especially completing the consonants at ends of words.
• People who are scared speak fast to be done quickly. Listeners can’t absorb their information and judge the speaker as nervous. Slow down in spite of your fears.
• Use American business-loud volume. Americans speak more loudly than other cultures. When people have a difficult time hearing you, they will stop listening. They have enough to do and don’t want to spend energy to try to hear you.
