Hello and welcome back to my channel, where I help
you slay your career and cultivate successful if
you deserve. For the best career advice in
cyberspace, make sure and click the subscription
button on that notification bell, I released two
new videos each week. If you've been around here
for a while you know how important confidence is.
Imagine walking into that key meeting, that job
interview, or when you're asking your boss for a
raise with all of the confidence in the world?
Well, in today's video, I'm going to give you
seven 90 second confidence boosters that take no
time, and are going to make you feel confident AF
before those crucial conversations and moments in
your career. And do make sure to say all the way
to the end, because you know, I'm going to have a
bonus tip for you if you do and maybe even a
little something to take away. If you are ready t
have that vibe, tap that like button, and let'
just jump right into it. The first instan
confidence booster that I have for you when yo
need to feel more confident at work is to powe
pose. Now taking 90 to 120 seconds, so tw
minutes, doing a power pose can actually have a
enormous impact on how you feel and your energ
and confidence. It's actually really easy to d
with your feet about hip width apart, hands o
your hips, back straight head up, make your be
t Superwoman or super person pose that you can. Th
re's actually a whole TED talk on the power of th
s that I will link down below in case you want to
check out the science behind it. You probably do
't want to do this in front of a bunch of pe
ple if it's in a meeting, or if you're in a vi
tual meeting. So do it off camera or if it's onsit
, just go into a bathroom stall and do it som
where where you are not going to be super con
picuous. And people aren't going to think you
re really strange. But I promise you, it rea
ly does work. Try this once, and I promise you
re going to end up doing it again and again. And
again. Now that you've got your power pose dow
, it's time for you to implement this second tip
to be more confident at work, or to feel more con
ident at work. And that is to maintain great pos
ure. Now you could actually try this out right now
there is a big difference in how you actually fee
and your mood. When you're sitting up str
ight shoulders back how head held high, kind of
ike what I'm doing now. And sitting like this. Tot
lly different mood, right? This I feel small, I k
nd of feel insecure. And I'm kind of going to be
rojecting that to everyone around super easy fix
do this one's not only is it good for your spi
e, it is good for your psyche, when you mai
tain good posture, essentially what research is
elling us is that your body is giving that fee
back to your brain. So you will actually feel mor
confident by presenting yourself with con
idence. And it's going to uplift your mood, som
thing that you're probably going to need in tho
e key career moments that we're talking about rig
t now, I also want to sneak in another little tip
to this one. And that is actually smiling, con
ident people smile, they generally project hap
iness. And I know that this is a loaded que
tion. And that if you're a woman watching, you are
kind of sick of people telling you to smile. So
'm not trying to be that person. I'm not tel
ing you that you have to pass her fake smile acr
ss your face like Happy, happy, happy. That's not
fun. But if you are feeling and then having a smi
e on your face, and showing some teeth is act
ally a great way to project confidence. And aga
n, when we're projecting confidence, we are goi
g to as a direct result end up feeling more con
ident. And hopefully with that uplifted move fro
holding good posture, you are going to feel lik
smiling anyways. And that leads me directly int
my third instant confidence booster that is goi
g to help you feel confident at work. And I kno
I know it's really superficial, but it act
ally works. And that is to wear something that mak
s you feel confident if you are dressed in a way
that is uncomfortable that you feel self con
cious, you are not going to be projecting con
idence, that kind of insecurity based on what you
re wearing, or how uncomfortable you are, is goi
g to show up and it's just going to impact you
whole presence and the way that you feel. How
ver, we all have something about us that act
ally makes us feel really really confident. May
e it's putting on power blazer that you just fee
like a boss and you can just walk in owning the
room. Maybe it's a great pair of shoes, I know tha
I have a few of those or maybe you're like me I d
dn't those key moments you wear a pair of Bat
an socks that no one can see. But you know, you
know that you are a badass Batman underneath it
ll. And I don't care how superficial you think tha
I am when I say this, but
I truly believe that the way that we dress and the
way that we project ourselves is a reflection of
how we feel inside uplift how you present yourself
and you my friend are going to feel like a badass
and I'd actually love to hear from you. Do you
have a go to item that you were on those days
where you need to have a lot of confidence. Let me
know in comments down below. My next instant
confidence booster is probably one that you
already use without even thinking about it. But
when you use this one strategically, it is going
to have a high impact on your confidence and how
confident you feel at work. It's so easy to
implement surprise changes scenery, and outfit and
makeup. Because I was so excited. I totally missed
tip four, which is visualization. And I did not
want to leave it out of this video because this
one is really important. And it is so powerful,
especially if you are heading into one of those
crucial career moments, the big presentation, the
big job interview, when you're feeling not
confident, you're probably already visualizing,
but you're visualizing the terrible outcome. So
why don't instead you visualize with intention,
the successful outcome of that moment that you are
about to walk into, imagine yourself succeeding in
that presentation and getting the job offer in
your inbox right after the job interview. Because
my friend, the thing is, you were in the situation
because that outcome is possible. And let's face
it, the more confident that you are that it is
probable, the more likely it is to happen. It
doesn't have to be ordinay. You don't have to be
transcending this plane in order to do a
visualization. Just for a few moments, close your
eyes focus on that outcome, and especially the way
that you feel when that outcome arrives. This is
going to allow you to walk into that crucial
moment with that feeling of success to carry it
through. And my next tip is going to help you
amplify this as well. Music is this instant
confidence booster putting on a great song that
has high vibes uplifts your energy and makes you
feel confident is one of the easiest ways that you
can instantly boost your confidence outward. You
don't need to be sitting in your queue blasting a
whole bunch of music all day. But when you have a
song that you know that you can go to when you
really need to amp yourself up, draw that on those
key moments of time, not only is it going to have
that instant lift to your confidence at work, but
this is actually over time when you do this
repeatedly, it is going to become a confidence
trigger for you. So it is actually going to
amplify over time, the competence that you feel, I
don't know if you know this, but I'm about rituals
here and it is because like Pavlov's dog, when he
hears that bell when you hear that song, you maybe
won't salivate but you are going to feel better
about yourself and a good tune. never heard anyone
but maybe you're in a situation where you can't
throw music. And it would be really strange for
you to just like have your headphones and so
something that you can do and especially when
you're waiting for that job interview to kick off
or the meaning to start is you can actually
implement the six instant confidence booster. And
that is to have an affirmation. affirmations may
feel really cliche if you're in the whole like
self development world, but they're cliche because
they actually have a lot of power. And it doesn't
have to be anything Frou Frou woowoo it could
actually just be a go to slogan that reminds you
of your greatness and feels really good about
yourself. If you don't have an affirmation or
embody that you have already, here's mine that you
can borrow. My go to affirmation is keep being
awesome. You already know that you're awesome. Or
at least I hope you do because you are and whether
you're trying to boost your confidence because
you're going to walk into your final job
interview, a key meeting with your boss or
anything like that. All you have to do is continue
carrying your awesomeness into whatever is going
to happen next. And the thing that I love most
about my little motto affirmation, whatever you
want to call it, I guess it's a different thing
depending on how I use it every single day is that
ultimately for me, it's a reminder to trust myself
and not I am in that situation and saying that
thing or asking for that thing because it's the
right thing to happen. That sad, you might be
feeling really not confident because something
really important is about to happen. Maybe you
have your final interview or for your dream job or
you're negotiating your salary and you're going to
ask for an amount that absolutely terrifies you
and that is where you need to implement my seventh
instinct confidence booster. And that is to
leverage your hype squad, whether it's a friend, a
co worker, a mentor, your mom, your career coach
like me have a go to person that you can paint
when you need someone to give you that quick pep
talk that reminds you how great you are and how
much you were going to slay it. Sometimes we just
need that external validation and someone to
really motivate us and remind us how much we're
capable of so that we can kind of borrow their
confidence in us so that we feel more confident
about ourselves. And if you're feeling really
nervous, like
I don't have a hype squad where am I gonna go
aren't those for celebrities like Kanye? Don't
worry, you have a hype squad right here in the
career bestie community if you have something big
coming up and you need a little bit of a pep talk,
just drop a comment down below and I will be your
hype squad for you. And this actually does bring
me now into my bonus tip because as important as
it is to have this bag of instant confidence
boosters at work that we can pull out when we need
it's much more important for us to it Invest in
cultivating confidence in ourselves all the time.
