Use a strong posture. Keeping your shoulders back and chest out demonstrates a confident stance. Smile. People who have a good time smile, and the more you smile, the more you’ll feel better about every situation. Make eye contact. Meeting eyes with whomever you speak with projects confidence. Leave your hands out of your pockets. No need to constantly check your cell phone; that will only create more nervous feelings.
