Want to look relaxed and confident?


This video is interesting because it shows how a person can trick others using body language. Sometimes this comes in handy because on the outside you are able to have a different image than how you are feeling on the inside. This can help when you feel really nervous or when you are trying to look confident on a presentation. In my opinion once you make yourself look confident and relaxed, you will eventually start feeling that way. Well, here are your questions! Have you ever been so nervous that you don’t even know what to do? Well here are some tips so that you can look relaxed and confident. You can use this when you have to give a presentation or act in front of people. But now tell me, have you ever felt so nervous that you do not know what to do? What do you think of this video? Is it helpful or not?

  2. i think i heard someone once say that 80% of communication is body language. This would be a great thing to learn if you were called to Mr. Sander's office

  3. This is very interesting Carlota! I think this video is very helpful for all of us since it shows us how to control ourselves and show a good appearance while in a presentation or when you're speaking in public. These videos, I believe, are essential for life, since like the lady in the video said, you might get a job out of this.
    Anyways, thanks for the tips and good job!

  4. this video was really helpful! usually, when I'm nervous in any kind of social interaction, I don't know what to make the person think I'm not nervous through my body language. Even in school presentations, this can be very helpful.

  7. Ji Eun, many times I feel the same way--if I feel a certain way on the inside, it's hard for me to project a different emotion on an exterior level. Someone once told me "fake it till you make it" which means that sometimes if you try to act a certain way, sooner or later you'll be able to actually be able to genuinely project what you want others to see. For example, even if you feel nervous, and there is a good chance that you wont be able to change that emotion, you can still try to make certain gestures, like open gestures, to show that you arent nervous. People usually believe this, and it becomes harder for others to pick up on your nervousness.
