How to be Confident at Work

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks for watching! What's your favourite tip in this video about how to be confident at work?

[@VideoCashflow]

Tip no.2....and looking straight into the eyes (but not for too long, though!). Great video.

[@BerniceTaylorFitness]

I know exactly what you're talking about. Your body language can give it away if you're not confident. Also, the handshake thing I learned in corporate a long time and has stayed with me for so long. I make it a point to give firm, full handshakes!!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

YES! So glad to hear that. The corporate world is a great place to learn a solid handshake, haha! You definitely need it there. Thanks for sharing about your experiences! Cheers!

[@KellyLehman]

I think confidence is such important trait . Thank you for the helpful tips. Good Job.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

It definitely is - it's key for success! Thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@Merelynne]

My Dad is a business owner and he taught me a very early age the importance of a handshake. I can tell you - it really does make a difference when you walk into the room and put your hand out to greet someone.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

It totally does! It's great that your dad taught you the value of a solid handshake - good for him! Maybe he should be making videos like this too, LOL. Cheers!

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

This is such a great topic. It's great to see you cover in detail how to be confident at work. Thanks for sharing.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks so much for the kind feedback, Heather! Building your confidence is something I truly believe is important. Cheers!

Love these tips on how to boost confidence at work, even if you’re not feeling confident!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, Karina! Cheers!

[@JessalynTester]

These are AMAZING tips! I’ve worked at building my confidence over the last 3 or 4 years myself and have used many of these. My favorite one is be an encourager! “We rise by lifting others!💯” New sub to your channel! Looking forward to your upcoming videos!☺️

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thank you so much for your kind comment and for the sub! I'm so glad you've valued building your confidence. That's so important. Being an encourager is something that's helped me increase my confidence, too. Cheers!

[@healthyvoicetips]

Fake it till you make it. I wish I had your tips when I started my first job. So wise!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thank you, Katarina! I've definitely learned from experience. Cheers!

[@RVersity]

You are so right! The way you carry yourself can make you or break you. Thanks for all the great tips!🙂

[@AdrianaGirdler]

It truly can! That's why it's so important to know how to be confident! Cheers!

[@PalmTreeTeachingTV]

Body language is a great give-away and indicator of confidence, isn't it? Great tips Adriana! Deirdre. X

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, Deirdre! Body language definitely is key. Have a lovely weekend, cheers!

[@charles.mccormick]

Good tips. Thanks

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks for watching, Charles! Cheers!

[@BirthLikeABoss]

These are fab tips! Choice of words, choosing to be encouraging, choosing to keep your space tidy... small but powerful changes that make a huge difference to how we feel and how we are perceived. Awesome vid :)

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I'm so glad you agree! They're definitely powerful changes, especially when you're doing them consistently. This helps you gain confidence but also helps people view you as confident - and that's the goal! Thanks so much for watching. Cheers!

[@LucyGriffithsdotcom]

Body language can really make a difference to look confident. Great video lovely!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

It for sure can. Thanks for watching, Lucy. Cheers!

[@rebellcrone]

Good work. First day in job is always stressful

[@AdrianaGirdler]

It definitely is! Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@Seed2Stem]

Great tips. Keeping desk organized goes a long way to helping me refocus and get grounded. Also agree with karma!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

There's no going wrong with a clean and organized desk! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, cheers!

[@lamajigmeg]

I loved your confident presentation - liked and shared

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! Cheers!

[@HowToMakeDinner]

So good! My fave tip is to encourage others. All of the most successful people run in circles of other successful people! We need to boost each other :) Great video!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

We SO do need to encourage each other. Great point! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers!

[@KellyRoach]

Love a good power pose! I also always notice a strong handshake too - great video!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, Kelly! Having a good handshake is definitely a game changer. Cheers!

[@AngieNFilms]

Your topics are always on point. Awesome tips as always

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks so much. Cheers!

[@PHDinMeTV]

Such a good channel and topic! Thanks for sharing 🌸

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thank you for watching! Did you have a favourite tip? Cheers!

[@jamessamy]

Thank you Adriana for taking your time to share this video. Definitely conference is needed in everything. Love your videos 🙏

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks so much! I truly believe in it and that's why I love sharing. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@PracticalInspiration]

Great video Adriana. I actually found that time, experience and taking on responsibility is what has helped my confidence in my job. I agree what you say though, how you are and behave will send clear message to others

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Gaining experience definitely helps increase your confidence naturally. The longer you're at a job and the more experiences you've taken on, the more confident you'll feel there. Sometimes when you're just starting out, it can be hard to find that confidence! Thanks so much for watching, cheers!

[@LydiaNicoleLive]

Yes, body language is super important. I like the idea of reading books on body language. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@AdrianaGirdler]

It definitely is! Let me know if you want any book recommendations. Cheers!

[@Crawfordsfive]

These are great tips! Another I’d like to add is grooming and hygiene. It may seem like a no brainer but you’d be surprised.. dirty fingernails, body odor, unkempt hair, unflattering clothing, bad breath, etc.. all these can really decrease your self-confidence and also decrease the likelihood of people wanting to work closely with you. Take some time to groom and take care of yourself, and not just your body but your internal health too. I know when I’m looking good, smelling good and feeling good on the job and hair is on point, my confidence is through the roof, and it even enhances my focus and performance

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. Grooming and hygiene is really important. When you look good you feel good and that can only boost your confidence and then in turn your productivity. Thanks for your comment and for tuning in, cheers!

[@WendyLeungCoaching]

Aaaaahh what a cute panda!! Also, great vid, as usual :) Body language can definitely communicate a message without you ever opening your mouth. When I was a lot younger, it was pointed out to me that I often stood with my arms crossed, closing in my body and closing myself off to others. Since then I've been very conscious about posture and body language.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Haha, thanks, I love filming with the panda!! I'm glad you learned that lesson about body language and that someone was willing to point it out to you so that you could improve it. Understanding the message you're conveying through your body language is so important! Cheers!

[@CliffordStarks1]

Power in confidence. Have a happy Thanksgiving Andriana!😊👍

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, Clifford! Happy Thanksgiving!! Here in Canada, ours was in October. Cheers!

[@RetireCertain]

Great video, I love your annunciation, arm movements and energy. :)

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thank you! I'm definitely passionate about this one, haha. Cheers!

[@laurendempsey9644]

Haha, love the way you explained the confident swagger walk! Word choice is something we don't think about a lot but it definitely makes a difference, especially in the professional world. It's a little different from just chatting with your best friend! Cheers!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

For sure. It's important to really be mindful of the words you use. Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@iqbalali5719]

All are valid points 👌😊

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thank you and thanks for watching, cheers!

[@tappingforfreedom5088]

Great video and tips!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks so much. Cheers!

[@PatriciaKelikani]

Love your tips! (Wish I saw this video in my early 20s!) I need to work on my handshake.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, Patricia! I think we all have things we wish we knew when we first started - that's why I make these videos! And you can do it! Cheers!

[@ideasgirl]

Love your tips! And definitely agree re the handshake! Wimpy handshakes are yuck!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Exactly - can't go wrong with a good, solid handshake! Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@HeatherGerhardt]

I think I have faked it till I made it more times than I actually made it! Starting this youtube channel was one of them! LOL

[@AdrianaGirdler]

LOL, I think a lot of us KZbinrs could say the same. You're doing a pretty great job, though! Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@bahamajim1998]

I tell my daughter to shower in am to present herself as well as she can to the world and keeping clean work ethics makes u seem less of a degenerative human being .

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Yes, making a good impression definitely does help with confidence as well, and part of that is how you present yourself. Thanks for sharing and continuing the conversation! Cheers!

[@lavendergilly5843]

What if you had undiagnosed medical brain issues like ADHD or depression that made your job performance eventually suffer due to how extra hard you had to try to meet expectations and so your boss or coworkers thought you were stupid so you got bullied .. and when you quit no one was there to teach you how to get back on the horse. ... I'm 29 and have never yet had a full time job. I panic or sabotage so bad and Ive considered Suicide.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Hi Lavender. Thank you for watching and reaching out. I would suggest to anyone who is feeling this way to reach out to a medical professional for help. Wishing you all the best.

[@dr.inkwell1070]

My neighbor just decided to hire me (HVAC) I'm 21, I dont even have my drivers licence, I've never had a real job, I got crippling anxiety, and I'm autistic as fuck, like I can't even look people in the eye. I dont know wtf I'm doing✌💀 .

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Take a day at a time, you can do it. Congratulations on your job and wishing you all the best. Cheers!
