Communicate with Confidence: Body Posture and Breathing [Yes, really!]

Did you know it’s easier to communicate with confidence (whether you’re writing or speaking!) when you're using good body posture and intentional breathing? Yes, really! This video shows you how. High-Value Writing invited Scottie Spurzem, The English Language Coach, to share her techniques for staying grounded and calm in any circumstance—whether you’re writing, speaking, or even presenting! Scottie explains that one of the best ways to keep yourself grounded and calm in any circumstance is to practice checking your body posture and breathing techniques regularly. Below are Scottie's favorite techniques but know that you can experiment and find the best practices that work for you. Make sure to monitor your body posture. This will help you engage your entire diaphragm and then you can think clearly in any language! Scottie finds that putting her feet flat on the ground, and barefoot when possible, really helps to ground her when sitting. For your body posture while sitting, keep your ear drums over the shoulders and your shoulders over your hips. When standing, do the same and keep your hips over the ankles and knees slightly bent. Think of the area across your clavicles, from shoulder to shoulder, as a smile. You will look and feel more confident with good posture. Don’t forget to breathe! Breathe in through your nose for 3 seconds and out through your mouth (or nose if in stealth mode) for 3 seconds and repeat at least 3 times. You can build up to 4-5+ seconds. This equal breathing method works well. Regular practice will allow you to use it when needed!
