6 secrets to be quietly confident

1. Learn and Grow Daily

The key to quiet confidence is competence.

Actions:

• Carve out 30 mins to read

• Listen to a podcast or audiobook during your commute

• Pretend everyone was sent to teach you something

2. Create Your Own Momentum

Write down your wins —

Compliments, a presentation you crushed, solo travel, etc.

Then regularly review your wins.

See how far you’ve come and how seriously capable you are.

3. Hone Your Body Language

Powerful body language makes you look more confident.

But even better? It makes you feel more confident.

Stand up straight, pull your shoulders back, make eye contact, smile, give a firm handshake…

You will be dangerous.

4. Pause Before Speaking (30% Rule)

When speaking, we allow ourselves only 30% of the time a listener would give us to fill a pause without it feeling awkward.
