​

Confidence looks like...

Presence

• Eye contact + listening without interruption
• When you're present, others feel seen

​

Power

• Confident posture (open, grounded, spacious)
• Speak slowly and clearly
• Take up physical and verbal space

​

Warmth

• Your intention to uplift others
• Eye expression, tone, empathy

​

• Too much power → intimidating
• Too much warmth → overlooked
• Balance → charismatic authority

​

Power makes people listen • Warmth makes them trust
