The posture of a self-confident, poised person is upright and proud, chin lifted, chest open and quite often a smile. Even when you are feeling slightly intimidated, if you can master the self-assured stature, you will immediately start feeling more confident. In other words … you can affect your mood or emotions by simply changing your posture.
Spend a few minutes in front of the mirror and make yourself aware of what your confident stature looks and feels like.
Graciousness.
One of the greatest secrets to being remembered in a positive light is to be gracious. We often get into the habit of asking, “How are you?” but how often do we pay attention to the answer? By being sincerely interested in the other person, and greeting in a genuinely friendly way, you can be sure to get noticed and remembered.
Eye contact.
How many times have you gone on a date or sat in a meeting where you felt like you were not included in the conversation, or the other person is simply distracted or disinterested? By maintaining eye contact with the person you are conversing with, you give them the feeling that you are totally engaged and interested.

| Inner confidence should be achieved first before you look good on the outside! And good posture is vital- people look so much different when their chins are up and they stand up straight. | |

| I've seen too many women who are well-dressed but don't know how to carry themselves and lose the whole appeal. Posture and grace is everything. Just the other day, I was walking to work and someone rolled his window down and said to me, "I love the way you walk. It's very sexy." This article is absolutely true. | |
