A Trick To Look More Confident When Your Speak

Years ago when I was teaching my nonverbal class at Florida State I consciously started using every principle to increase my confidence and look powerful.

I am 5 feet 2 and blonde so I needed some help to have any presence at all to my 150 to 200 students in dark staired seating auditorium in my nonverbal communication class. One of the power-boosting behaviors that I started doing that I use to this day is using the whole room! To this day I never stand behind a podium. I use the whole stage, and always come off the stage into the audience and go all the way to the back of the ballrooms!

I love being with my audience. I just sent my room set up for the opening speech I am giving and the client got excited that I wanted stairs to come down the front of the stage so I can easily go out into the audience! She said, she never had that request.

I love my work!

Patti Wood body language expert, What Does Taking Off Your Wedding Ring Mean, Wife Who May Have Murdered Her Husband and Wrote a Book

Here is some of my interpretation of the murder suspect taking off her wedding ring means. 

The mom-of-three showed up to the interview without her wedding ring in what acclaimed body language expert Patti Wood said was a "strong choice."

"Writing a children's book about grief after losing your husband and promoting it without still wearing a wedding ring is an interesting choice," she exclusively told The U.S. Sun.

"Everybody grieves differently, some widows want to hold on to the symbol of the union they can see, feel, and touch all the time, and some don't.

"Nonverbally, she is not just promoting the book, but the fact that she has processed her grief enough to advertise that she is single and available." 

There is more of what I shared in this article.

Why is the Doomsday Cult Mom Lori Vallow Wearing Braided Pigtails in Her Latest Mugshot.

I just spent the morning reading the cult mother's mug shots for the media. She is a member of the doomsday cult. I will post the link to the article this afternoon. And yes, I talked about what braided pigtails mean. I am fascinated by the Manchu dynasty and have read quite a bit about it. In that dynasty braided pigtails where were a sign of political enslavement to the Manchu dynasty.
There is so much cultural meaning in braids. In some cultures braiding can signify age, rank marital status, etc. In some cultures and religions braids are worn by mothers and wives, and in some braids are worn by widows and children after the death of the spouse/father. Yes, I know that is creepy in her case and I think that is significant. While I think her choice is more of an attempt to control the one thing she can control and make us think of her as an innocent child.
