Charles Horton Cooley, an American sociologist at the start of the 20th century, said:

“I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; I am who I think you think I am“

Confidence has a lot to do with how we carry ourselves! (details)

The key to confidence: Control the space!

• Move confidently
• Don’t fidget. Give your hands something to do.
• Control the tempo
• Talk slowly / Take pauses
• Take up plenty of room
• Shoulders
• Head positioning
• Do something with your arms. – Letting your arms hang flat on your side can make you seem stiff and uncomfortable.
• Turn your shoulders. – Standing straight in front of the camera is not a great pose for most.
• Roll your shoulders back.
• It only looks awkward if you make it awkward.

Again, the key to confidence is to control the space!
