Etiquette Boss: Posture and refinement
“When a beautiful woman walks into a room, I may glance up for a moment, but I soon return to my entrée, or my conversation, or the dessert menu……but when a confident woman walks into a room, it is entrancing. I’ll watch, as she moves with poise and self-possession. She may not be the most stunningly gorgeous woman I have ever seen, but she has a way about her that can make her one of the most intriguing. Confidence is captivating. It is powerful, and it does not fade … and that, is endlessly more interesting than beauty.” — Nina Garcia, Little Black Book of Beauty.
Whether or not you agree with Nina Garcia’s quote, there is hardly any doubt that proper posture makes a much better impression than not. This week, pay particular attention to your body and its movements.
Do you shuffle instead of stride? Is your gait from side to side instead of front to back? Subtle shifts in body posture make a huge difference in how we are perceived.
