Talking With Confidence

It's a tough thing to come across as confident when talking. There are many cues that people look for to "work you out" when you meet. Not least of which is body language. Someone who appears confident goes a long way to making a positive impression on others. There is really no way around this - you have to first appear confident.

Once you've cracked the body language bit, something we teach on our Confidence Course Bicester Swindon Aylesbury, you can then move onto learning how to talk with confidence. Most people wrongly assume that to talk with confidence, you must know everything. In fact this is really not true - sometimes the best way to appear confident is to say, "I don't know anything about that".

You back this up with good conversation skills - particularly the ability to really listen and ask meaningful questions, and it doesn't matter what you know and what you don't know. So the things to practice are how to ask good questions, not getting lots of books and trying to learn everything. The best tip I can give you is to ask questions like, "you seem really interested in ..., what is it about it that you like so much?".
