DAY 23
Had a customer meeting today. Typical meeting where we're all in a conference room and I had to do some white boarding.
Eye contact has been improving, and I am pleased with that progress. I'm now looking at folks directly in their eyes for the entirety of when I or they are speaking.
Gesture / posture is also improving. I am now sitting upright, whereas before I used to slouch and lean back a lot.
Though these areas have been progressing, I am consciously making an effort to apply them (eye contact and proper posture). The goal is to ultimately be like that naturally by default without having to think about it.
The area that still needs improvement is: There is still a little bit of nervousness, and it shows when I speak or probably even the way my facial expressions look. I'm sure this will progress over time.
For internal meetings (i.e. with co-workers and not clients), my confidence is pretty high, and people look to me for input or guidance.
That's all for now.
Cheers,
