How do you build confidence in conversations? One would be to do not let defensiveness be your first step. As soon as you take that step, you lost. Better way to do it is let your breath be the first word that you say. So if you think of your breath as a word, it kind of changes your mind of, okay, now I can address this, because what we'll do is we'll hold our breath like that, and then, I mean, you know, this thing kicks in our nerves, then comes in the adrenaline, then comes in the defensiveness. You realized I haven't even breathed yet. And when it comes to confidence, of course we can say it's the way you project, it's the way you smile, it's the way you pace your conversation, keeping your voice low, keeping your words slow. It's all these kind of things. Is the perception that I don't have to say anything more than what I need to say because oftentimes more words says less. You need to eliminate that. Right, right. Less words says more. Yeah. Every time.
