  • One physical detail occupies your thoughts constantly in public
  • You have no idea what to say after “hi, what do you do?”
  • People call you quiet when you have things to contribute

Frequently asked questions

About Confidence & Charisma

Twenty minutes a day for thirty days, following the protocol in the last chapter. Most of the actions happen inside situations you were going to be in anyway.

No, and we would rather be clear. If anxiety stops you working, going out or maintaining relationships, see a clinician. This module sits alongside that work.

For the voice chapter, yes, and it is the part people resist most. Thirty seconds on your phone is enough, and it is the only way to hear what others hear.

No. The module works on behaviour and on speaking, and it borrows written tools from cognitive therapy. If you have social anxiety that limits your life, see a clinician: this module sits alongside that work, it does not replace it.

Yes, in order to say that they did not survive replication. Chapter 2 works on posture for what it verifiably does, which is your own perception and your breathing, not for a hormonal effect that was not confirmed.

With the exposure log and the smallest step, not with a presentation. The module builds a ladder: one question in a meeting before a talk. The gap between anticipated and experienced anxiety does the rest.

Yes, and the module does not try to turn you into an extrovert. Presence, power and warmth are behaviours, not a temperament. Several of the techniques suit quiet people better.
