Confidence Classic: Stop Waiting for Permission—Build a Career That Lights You Up with Steve Herz

So what I did is I started going to these cocktail parties and really paying very careful attention for who else was in the room and who was folding their arms and standing there like that. with this off-putting language. Once in a while is fine, but staying there for five minutes every single interaction. And once I started noticing that, it would be a signal to me to stop doing it.

And I eventually cured myself of that. And that just gave me a little bit more warmth in my personality. And I didn't change. I wasn't even aware I was doing it. And the other thing I do is, as part and parcel of that, is when I talk to somebody, I position my hips directly parallel to theirs. If you're standing there like this, I don't turn away with my shoulders and hips.

I try to focus in on you and with the feeling that, hey, you're important to me. You're the one I'm talking to right now. And it was just another just slightly bad habit I had and easy to fix. And then the last one I'll give you is I talk about dentistry a lot because I had my front teeth knocked out as a kid and then knocked out again.

And I've had my front teeth are all caps and fakes and everything else. So since I was two growing up, I've always had a lot of sensitivity to my smile. I was never very proud of it or just sensitive to it.
