When speaking to a large or small audience, or even one-to-one, you might feel intimidated or even stressed out. You might be unaware that your physical dimension is intertwined with your emotional and intellectual dimensions and that together, they all communicate with your inner thoughts, feelings and ideas to the world outside through your body language, actions and behaviors in any moment of your day: at work, in business, and in family as well.

Building and focusing on positive thinking and feeling is the foundation of an impactful, authentic communicator. It leads to successfully acting with self- confidence, enhancing the ability to express with assertiveness, empowering and positive words, open and encouraging questions, and empathic listening and feedback.

Nurturing a confident mind (a balance of IQ and EQ) provides the skills to create positive communication and, as a result, genuine connections with your boss, team members and family.
