Becoming high calibre
I believe that it’s possible for us all to perform better at virtually everything we do. It is within us to develop a calm centred balance that conveys our truly confident nature and professional demeanour. Through good natural poise and skilled and effective use of our voice we can sway an argument, enthrall an audience and win deals. We can bring gravitas, power and reassurance to a discussion and convey personal and professional reliability. We are all born with this capacity and with appropriate training, surprising results can be achieved.
We are all performers in one way or another, whether we’re in a business situation, on the tennis court, golf course, or even in social situations. But we’re not interested in ‘putting on’ a pretence that creates an illusion of high caliber. We’re not dealing with acting here. This is about being the person you have always wanted to be.
There are many courses that can help with presentation skills, negotiating and how to read body language etc., but this is not my point. I'm talking about finding your true calm, confidence…… the real you. So that you can be naturally at ease at all times and have the confidence to do the things in life that you really want to do. This quality can only be discovered by ridding yourself of the learnt postural habits that are interfering with your natural, healthy condition. When you are truly balanced, well co-ordinated, free in your joints and breathing fully the qualities I have written about before will be yours without any pretence. After all, we are all meant to be this way….naturally.
In order to achieve these qualities we must ensure that we are in good balance, released in our muscles throughout our body rather than tensing, lengthening and widening rather than stooping and not interfering with our breathing. This is how our body functions best. We've all got the instinct for this....we've got it from birth and it's still there until we die. It's just waiting to be rediscovered.
