Appear and act convincingly with self-confidence and a positive mindset

Use clear, targeted communication

• Good preparation, a common thread and a clear objective.
• Give honest feedback - stay authentic.
• I-messages that really resonate with the other person.
• Make your voice and body language more demanding.
• Combining emotionality and objectivity effectively.
• Defining boundaries - what is possible and what is not?
• Say "no" politely but firmly and formulate expectations.

Perceive and control yourself and others better

• Don't take everything personally - develop a "thicker skin" by setting boundaries.
• Stand up for yourself and your own needs - you don't always have to please everyone.
• Being able to assess and predict the behavior of other people more realistically.
• Being "right" damages your reputation - act according to your convictions.
• Keep at it, even when it gets exhausting - energy expenditure is essential.
• Remain consistent and be taken seriously.

Develop a new mindset and boost self-confidence

• Take your inner critic and doubter seriously, but don't overestimate it.
• Develop supportive attitudes and beliefs - your inner attitude is one of the factors that determine success or failure.
• Make decisions faster through more focus and trust in your inner self.
• Question your own expectations - avoid disappointment.
• Contribute your own skills and ideas more proactively - get into action faster.
