Study: 79% of working women lack confidence, keep yourself confident in the office | News India


According to a study conducted by an organization called 'My Confidence Matters', women lack confidence despite performing better than men. Also, women rate their performance lower than men with similar performance. According to a report by 'The Sun', 79% of women lack confidence about their career compared to men.

Adopt a power pose
When you're giving a presentation or talking to a colleague about work, use power poses to exude confidence. According to clinical psychologist Dr. Felicity Baker, power posing involves standing in a strong upright posture, with legs slightly apart and arms open. Standing in this position increases testosterone levels in the blood, which gives confidence.

Ask fewer questions
According to behavioral psychology expert Justin Gasparovic, avoid asking questions constantly in meetings. Talk to decision makers as a colleague, not as the final authority. At the same time, your constant questioning can make the other person feel uncomfortable. Also, your personality will not have the right impact on people.

Say as much as you need
According to chartered psychologist Dr. Joe Perkins, speak during meetings only when you have something important to say. Pause and think before saying anything so that you can get a good response. This will also make people interested in listening to you during the meeting.

Wear the right clothes
Clothes are an important part of expressing your personality. People at work often judge you by your clothes, so always wear clothes that make you feel confident. According to Dr. Perkins, red is associated with confidence, power and passion. At the same time, gray and blank colors also help to show confidence.
