Comfort is an area we all strive for, but the luckiest of us have the opportunity or are even forced by circumstances to step out of this area and explore new horizons, some of them completely unknown.

And for the new paths to be crowned with success and to reach your goals, which I hope and believe that each one draws carefully, your speech and your way of relating to yourself are two ingredients without which this journey can be a perpetual return. at the point, you left.

Recently I had an extremely revealing discussion with a very straightforward, transparent, and hardworking person who got to the point where she has to change her perception of working relationship management in the sense of a better negotiation, a safe and carefully built one, without emotional implications, destructive passions or fixed ideas.

The role of personal development is to emphasize those characteristics of each person and to give the possibility to each person concerned with this area to juggle these characteristics when needed, to achieve precisely and very well determined objectives.

The development of skills necessary for a good speech is not surprisingly related to the accentuation of behaviors or tones that are not specific to the person. A good Public Speaking course will put a mirror in front of you and will make you look the way you are and give you the confidence that every time you are genuine and honest you can only be successful.

So if you are among those who are ready for #change or simply want to see yourself in a mirror as you are, accept yourself and go only on your hand, always assumed, do not forget to make the right choice better. A soft skills course does not change, does not change, does not complete but puts you at the beginning of the road.

Success in every choice you make and don't forget that the road, no matter how long and complicated, is much more valuable than the destination. Choose a destination and get lost in the streets. Instinct and everything authentic in each of you will help you choose the best paths.

Although it is very important to look confident, in just 60 seconds you can turn from a shy person into a brave one. Some body language tricks will make you look more confident. It is a situation from which you have nothing to lose. Self-confidence means doing things the way you want to, but without annoying those around you.

Shyness is not a trait to be ashamed of. In some situations, each of us is shy, but some of us can hide it better. That's all.

To gain fluency in speech, to be relaxed, to have confidence and security, the most important thing is not to focus on your person (how you present yourself, how you speak, if you say the right thing, etc.).

Self-distrust makes you feel alone. Sometimes you think that you are the only person in the Universe who suffers from a crisis of mistrust and you would like to be more successful, to be more confident.

Get rid of your uncertain thoughts

Force yourself to get out of the negative moods and be ambitious. Don't complain that you can't solve a certain thing, tell yourself that whatever it is, you will make what you want possible.

This way you can proceed with all the thoughts that give you a state of discomfort. In addition, you will be much more focused on what you need to do and you will not waste your time consuming yourself nervously.

Look into the other person's eyes

Yes, yes, I know it's easy to say, hard to do, but try this

exercise: instead of looking down or at the floor, look straight ahead. It is a first step in the right direction.

Write a diary of events

If you are a person who does not trust you, then it is time for a test. During a day, write down all the simple or complex things you have accomplished without being pushed from behind.

Keep in touch with those who support you: often those who care about us can objectively see parts of our lives.

He rarely speaks

Such a simple trick will help you a lot. Be sure of what you say and if you don't believe what you say, then at least try to speak slowly, without giving the impression that you are running away from words.

Smile!

A smile will brighten your day, especially since you have all the chances to receive the same reactions from those around you.

Relax!

Having manners is one thing, but if you have to finish the to-do list before you start, those around you will feel a little suffocated.

Give up rules and constraints, be creative.

Breath in breath out

The first thing a shy or nervous person does is hold their breath. If you take a deep breath before you speak, it will not only relax you, but you will also gain time to think about what you are going to say.
