The Power of Being Yourself: Unlock Your True Potential

Just be yourself. Act natural. That is actually horrible advice. If someone's trying to help you get ready for a presentation, a job interview, a speech, and they just say, act natural. Worthless, ignore it. The problem is it's only natural to be nervous, to be uncomfortable in those situations. And when that happens, we freeze our hands, we freeze our body, our eyes, our face. Our energy goes down, our volume goes down. We look scared because we are scared, because it's natural to be scared in that situation. What you have to do is actually act the way you are in different situations. Situations where you are comfortable talking to your best friend, talking to a group of colleagues that you talk to every day. When you're in those situations, your voice has more volume, more energy, more range, your hands are moving, your body's moving. That's the natural state you want to use for these unnatural situations, like a job interview or a speech or a presentation.
